Adsorption of Binary Mixtures of Organic (n-C6H12 or C6H5Cl) and Water Vapours on Activated Carbon U-03 at 293 K

The adsorption of vapour and liquid mixtures of H2O + c-C6H12 and H2O + C6H5Cl on activated carbon U-03 has been examined at room temperature 293 K. A model of Independent Co-adsorption proposed by Stoeckli et al. [1,2] leads to a good correlation between experimental and calculated mole fractions for each vapour in binary mixtures. This model can improve predicting dynamic systems such as break through curves and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption). This model shows Independent Co-adsorption which can describe static or dynamic systems including break through curves and PSA systems of binary immiscible vapour mixtures adsorbed by a typical industrial activated carbon U-03. The model assumes that vapours are adsorbed according to their respective Dubinin-Astakhov isotherms. A good mutual agreement was found between the calculated and experimental data.
