Abstract
The sorption of two hydrophilic and two hydrophobic airborne VOC into aqueous slurries containing up to 50 kg activated carbon/m3 was carried out in a cables scrubber to determine the effect of adsorbent particles. A reduction and an enhancement of the VOC uptake rate were observed respectively for the hydrophilic and the hydrophobic compounds. A model based on the penetration theory and taking account of the adsorption equilibrium and L-S mass transfer kinetics was developed to interpret the experimental findings.
