Volatile Organic Compound Recovery Using Activated-Carbon Fiber-Cloth with Rapid Electrothermal Desorption

Abstract

Activated-carbon fiber-cloth (ACFC) has been investigated as an alternative adsorbent to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from gas streams when compared to conventional granular activated carbons (GACs). ACFC has up to twice the adsorption capacity of GAC and is more suited to electrothermal regeneration.
