Abstract
The adsorption of o-xylene onto raw clay material in a fixed bed using a thermal conductivity detector gas chromatography was investigated. Experimental and theoretical studies were established to evaluate the removal efficiency of o-xylene by adsorption on clay materials and to predict kinetic parameters. Column data were describing at different conditions using Bohart-Adams, Wolborska, Thomas, Yoon and Nelson, dose-response, and bed depth service time models. All used models were satisfactory to predict the breakthrough curves. A suitable advection-dispersion-sorption (ADS) model has been also developed to simulate the measured data, based on the nature of the various equilibrium relationships of solid-gas and diverse descriptions of the mass transfer processes within of the adsorbent particle. The experiments can be fitted with high correlated coefficient R 2=0.996.
