Abstract: A comparative study was conducted on the adsorption/desorption of organic vapors (toluene and para‐xylene) on a synthetic resin (XAD4) and activated carbon using a gravimetric method involving the use of a quartz spring ...

Abstract: Two parallel diffusion mechanisms, pore and surface, can control the rate of contaminant adsorption. The two mechanisms are different functions of temperature and adsorbate concentration. To develop a mechanistic design ...
