Breakthrough, IAST, and isotherm fitting code

This software is a simulation package to compute breakthrough curves and IAST mixture predictions. It has been developed at the Delft University of Technology (Delft, The Netherlands), during 2022 in active collaboration with the University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), Eindhoven University of Technology (Eindhoven, Netherlands), Pablo de Olavide University (Seville, Spain), and Shell Global Solutions International B.V. Amsterdam.
