Parametric relationships in gas desorption

  • 1. Hughes Associates, Inc., Wheaton, MD (USA)

Description

A study was made of the gas desorption characteristics of six solvents from an ASC whetlerite activated carbon. It was found that for each gas the time at which the peak desorbing concentration occurred, as well as the absolute value of the peak concentration, was an exponential function of the gas loading on the bed. The greater the gas loading the shorter the time required for the peak concentration occur and the higher the absolute value of the peak concentration. A logarithmic relation was found to exist between the peak desorbing concentration and the throughput parameter (number of times the carbon volume was swept through by an equal volume of air). In general, the ease of desorption was correlated with the weakness of the gas-carbon adsorption bond
