Breakthrough behavior of sulphur mustard vapor on activated carbon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active carbon (surface area, 1250 m/g) was used to study vapor breakthrough behavior of sulphur mustard (2, 2’dichlorodiethyl sulphide). Effect of length of carbon bed on vapor breakthrough time has been examined. Rate constant (k v ) is found to increase while kinetic saturation capacity (W e ) is invariable with increase in airflow rate. Both k v and W e decrease with the increase of temperature, however, no significant effect on W e and k v was observed due to concentration change (0.30.6 mg/l). Values of kinetic saturation capacity are used to predict service lives/breakthrough times of carbon beds (when used in filtration systems).

In occupational hygiene, activated carbon produced from coconut shell is a common adsorbent material for harmful substances including organic vapors due to its outstanding adsorption capacity and cost advantage. However, moisture adsorption of the carbon generally decreases the adsorption capacity for organic vapors. In a previous report, we prepared several coconut shell activated carbons whic...
