Removal of Paracetamol on Biomass - Derived Activated 1 Carbon : Modeling the Fixed Bed Breakthrough Curves Using 2 Batch Adsorption Experiments

Mathematical Modeling of Fixed Bed Adsorption: Influence of Main Parameters on Breakthrough Curve

Dynamic modeling and simulation of fixed bed adsorption process was carried out by explaining the behavior of breakthrough curve parameter. Adsorption of sulfur compound, present in road fuel, has posed a great challenge. A model of fixed bed adsorption of benzothiophene from fuel was formulated with non-ideal plug flow behavior and considered velocity variation along a column. The model was so...

Removal of chlorinated volatile organic compounds by fixed bed adsorption technique: Adsorption equilibrium and breakthrough analyses

The adsorption equilibrium and dynamic breakthrough behaviour of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs), namely chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, were experimentally investigated by using pelleted activated carbon in a fixed bed. The experimental studies were carried out at atmospheric pressure, the temperature of 313 K, the gas flow rate of 3 L/min and various inlet gas phase concen...

Fixed-bed Adsorption of Trichloroethylene onto Activated Carbon

The present work deals with the study of the adsorption of Trichloroethylene (TCE) onto a commercial granular activated carbon (GAC). Thermodynamic (batch) and dynamic (fixed-bed column) tests were carried out, under a wide range of operating conditions. In particular, adsorption isotherms were preliminary determined to support the investigation on a fixed-bed column at lab-scale. The main flui...

Stability Determination of the Modified Activated Carbon to Adsorb Thiophenic Compounds from Model Diesel Fuel

The main objective of this research is stability determination of activated carbon adsorbent at fixed bed adsorption column for desulfurization of diesel fuel by mathematical modeling. This model is based on mass balances. Equations that are the outcome of mass balances are known as the second degree of partial differential equations, and they must be solved together simultaneously...
