Gas Adsorption by Activated and Impregnated Carbons

Abstract

In the period, equilibrium adsorption isotherms have been measured for H2O vapor on BPL activated and ASC whetlerite impregnated carbons. Work was also initiated on adsorption of binary mixed vapors by the carbons. It was found that HCN adsorption by BPL carbon in equilibrium with water vapor at a relative pressure of 0.8 produced a total adsorption of H2O and HCN which was greater than the adsorption of any previously measured single adsorbate. However, when the same carbon, a new BPL carbon sample or an ASC carbon sample was exposed to the same mixture, much smaller adsorption was noted. (Author)
