Specific adsorption of molybdenum(VI) on activated carbon and oxine-impregnated activated carbon

Hydrogen Adsorption on Activated Carbon

The adsorption of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes and activated carbons has generated considerable interest in relation to hydrogen storage for fuel cells applications[1-3]. However, the widespread use of hydrogen as a fuel is limited by the lack of a convenient and cost-effective method of hydrogen storage. Adsorption of supercritical hydrogen is limited by the low interaction energy between hydr...

Activated Carbon Adsorption

Statistical physics modeling of equilibrium adsorption of cadmium ions onto activated carbon, chitosan and chitosan/activated carbon composite

The adsorption ability of activated carbon, chitosan, and chitosan/activated carbon composite for cadmium separation from aqueous solution was analyzed via statistical physical modeling. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Hill, double layer model, and the multi-layer model with saturation isotherm models. Results showed that the multi-layer model with saturation could well describe...

Adsorption of styrene monomer on activated carbon.

Styrene is discharged particulary from the factories of styrene resin and synthetic rubber, and it was listed as one of the offensive odor substances by the Offensive Odor Control Law in Japan at 1976. Styrene vapor has stimulating action on eye (STEWART et al. 1968) and membrana of nose and trachea (STEPHENSON & FOSDICK 1960). It has toxic effects on blood cells and liver (KATZ 1962), and nerv...

Comparison of Adsorption Characteristics for VOCs on Activated Carbon and Oxidized Activated Carbon

In this investigation, the selected activated carbon is treated in NaOH solution or gas fluid with ozone from an ozone generator. FTIR, BET specific surface area and element analysis instruments were used to identify the difference in the chemical and physical characteristics between the activated carbon and oxidized activated carbon. The system of adsorption apparatus consists of a fixed adsor...
