Prediction of activated carbon performance for sequential adsorbates.
A packed bed of carbon granules was exposed to benzene and carbon tetrachloride sequentially to determine the adsorption characteristics of the bed under dynamic flow conditions. We found that the total adsorption space of the carbon was invariant at a fixed relative pressure and temperature. This finding allowed us to predict carbon performance for adsorbates introduced concurrently and/or sequentially.
