Abstract

Adsorption isotherms of dichloromethane and 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane on an activated carbon pellet, Norit B4, were studied. For these chemicals, the Sips equation gave the best fit for the single component adsorption isotherm. The adsorption affinity on activated carbon was greater for dichloromethane than that of 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. An experimental and theoretical study was made for the adsorption of dichloromethane and 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane in a fixed bed. Experimental results were used to examine the effect of operation variables, such as feed concentration, flow rate and bed height. Intraparticle diffusion was able to be explained by a surface diffusion mechanism. An adsorption model based on the linear driving force approximation (LDFA) was found to be applicable to fit the experimental data.
