The Effects of Relative Humidity on the Vapor Phase Adsorption of Trichloroethylene by Activated Carbon

摘要: The effect of relative humidity on activated carbon adsorption trichloroethylene (TCE) was determined. Five levels were tested for each four TCE influent concentrations. greatest at the lowest concentration (300 mg/m3) and highest involved (85%). Under those conditions amount adsorbed only 9% same challenge concentrations (5%). negligible (1000 1300 mg/m3) moderate level (25%). all other intermediate to these extremes. Differences in breakthrough curves caused by presence water vapor are presented discussed. Data sets (grouped humidity) fit Dubinin - Polanyi equation equally well.
