Abstract
Gas phase adsorption of toluene, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) on two types of activated carbons, BPL- bituminous base and OVC-coconut base, were studied. The adsorption isotherms were determined using the constant volume approach. Freundlich adsorption equation adequately represented the experimental adsorption data. The toluene adsorption isotherms on the two activated carbons were very similar in the range of 1-14 Pa. OVC provided better adsorption capacity for MEK and MIBK as compared to BPL in the range of 1-30 Pa. Ternary adsorption isotherms of these three compounds on both BPL and OVC were predicted well by the ideal adsorption solution theory. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 227th ACS National Meeting (Anaheim, CA 3/28/2004-4/1/2004).
