| Abstract: | "Adsorption isotherms of some volatile organic compounds (VOCs), present in air at concentrations ranging from 10 to 2500 mg m(-3), were performed onto activated carbon fiber cloth and felt. The VOCs loading air were isopropanol, toluene, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane. Isotherm adsorption data were generated. These experimental values were modeled by the equation of Dubinin and co-workers and by the Langmuir relation. Model parameters are discussed as a function of adsorbent materials and VOC structure. Adsorption capacity was generally found higher for the cloth than for the felt. An effect of external capillary condensation onto the felt of compounds with high surface tension was demonstrated for VOC concentrations above 1500 mg m(-3)" |
