Abstract

Adsorption dynamics for toluene and trichloroethylene with an isothermal fixed bed of activated carbon fiber were investigated. Equilibrium isotherms were measured by a static method for toluene and trichloroethylene onto activated carbon fiber at temperatures of 298, 323, and 348 K and pressure up to 3 kPa for toluene and 6 kPa for trichloroethylene, respectively. These results were correlated by the Toth equation. And dynamic experiments in an isothermal condition of 298 K were examined. Breakthrough curves reflected the effects of the experimental variables such as partial pressures for adsorbate and interstitial bulk velocities of gas flow. To present the column dynamics, a dynamic model based on the linear driving force (LDF) mass transfer model was applied.
