Abstract
The adsorption behavior of methanol vapor onto three commercial silica gels named SG-1, SG-2 and SG-3 were investigated in this paper. The experimental results showed that SG-1 has the rich microporous, and the larger surface area and microporous volume than SG-2 and SG-3. The equilibrium adsorption data showed that the adsorption capacities of SG-1 was superior to SG-2 and SG-3 for lower concentration of methanol (<150 g/m3). However, SG-2 had higher adsorption capacities than SG-1 and SG-3 for higher concentration of methanol resulting from the condensation in mesopore channels. Three kinds of adsorption equilibrium equations including Langmuir equation, Freundlich equation and Dubinin-Astakov (D-A) equation were used to fit the methanol vapor adsorption isotherms. The results indicated that the experimental data can be well-fitted by D-A equation.
