Abstract: A simple isotherm model has been developed for the type-5 equilibrium adsorption systems by considering the effects of both primary and secondary adsorptive sites. The model was applied to interpret experimental data ...

Abstract: Activated-carbon-fiber cloth (ACFC) is an alternative adsorbent to granular activated carbon (GAC) for removing and recovering organic vapors from gas streams. Electrothermal desorption (ED) of ACFC provides rapid regeneration ...

Abstract: Adsorption isotherms for alkane, aromatic, and ketone vapors were determined for activated carbon fiber cloth, tire-derived activated carbon and coal-derived activated carbon adsorbents. Physical and chemical properties ...

Abstract: The Qi-Hay-Rood adsorption isotherm equation is shown to provide an improved description of equilibrium water vapor adsorption onto microporous activated carbon between 298 and 373 K and total pressure at 101 kPa, when ...

Abstract: Adsorption capacities of adsorbents are necessary for selecting and designing adsorption systems for separation and removal processes, such as air quality control devices, because they are indicators of service life. This ...

Abstract: The amount of organic vapors that are emitted to the atmosphere can be reduced with the use of electrothermal-swing adsorption (ESA) with activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC). This paper describes a pilot-scale ESA system ...

Abstract: An electrothermal-swing adsorption system was demonstrated on the bench scale for capture and recovery of organic vapors from air streams. Methyl propyl ketone (MPK), methyl ethyl ketone,
