Low efficiency of activated carbon

Activated carbon adsorption method is widely used in the purification of organic waste gas. When there are many components in the waste gas, the adsorption situation becomes complicated.
In view of the fact that the exhaust gas of printing, tanning and coating industries contains benzene, toluene and ethyl acetate, etc., the kinetics of treating the exhaust gas by activated carbon adsorption method was studied experimentally, and the optimization of operating parameters of the fixed bed adsorber was explored, which could be used for reference in engineering design.
The experimental results show that the adsorption equilibrium of pure components is in good agreement with the Langmuir equation.
In the case of multi-component adsorption, due to the competition and interference between each component, the component with strong adsorption ability can replace the other component that has been absorbed, so that the penetration curve of each component has obvious changes.
The penetration point of the components with relatively weak adsorption capacity was significantly advanced, while the penetration time of the components with strong adsorption capacity was delayed.
In this paper, E-L equation and IAST theory are used for theoretical prediction and analysis of multi-component adsorption equilibrium, and compared with experimental results.activated carbon manufacturers in china
The results show that although the prediction of total adsorption amount by E-L equation is in good agreement with the experimental results, the prediction of each component adsorption amount by E-L equation often produces positive and negative deviation, and the average error is usually more than 20%.activated carbon pellet wholesale
