Equation calculates activated carbon's capacity for adsorbing pollutants. C.L. Yaws, L. Bu and S. Nijhawan. OGJ, 13 February 1995, 93(7), 64, 67--69.
A new, simple equation has been developed for calculating activated carbon's adsorption capacity as a function of the VOC (volatile organic compound) concentration in the gas. The correlation shows good agreement with experimental results. Results from the equation are applicable for conditions commonly encountered in air pollution control techniques (25 degrees C, 1 atm). The only input parameters required are VOC concentrations and a table of correlation coefficients for 292 gaseous compounds, ranging from styrene to tetradecane. 30 refs.
