Different families of volatile organic compounds pollution control by microporous carbons in temperature swing adsorption processes.

Removal of volatile organic compounds by heterogeneous ozonation on microporous synthetic alumina silicate.

A hybrid process combining adsorption and ozonation was examined as an alternative treatment for odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was chosen to study the influence of operating parameters. Two synthetic aluminosilicates (faujasite-Y and ZSM-5) were tested for adsorption and reactivity with ozone. The adsorption equilibrium measurement on both adsorbents showe...

Removing Undesirable Vocs from Biogases Using the Electrochemical Swing Adsorption onto Activated Carbon Fiber Cloths

Introduction The development of alternative and renewable energies is one of the crucial opportunities exhibited by governments to remediate the diminishing resources of the fossil feedstock. Biogases collected from landfill, digester and wastewater plants constitute a large and disposable supply to produce a rich methane stream, though these resources remain mostly unused. The biogas should be...

Modification of activated carbon by cold plasma and its effect on the adsorption of toluene

Abstract Background and aims: Clean air is one of the basic needs for human health and well-being. However, along with economic growth and development, transportation, urbanization and energy consumption have also risen and provide many concerns such as air pollution, which require urgent and wide attention. Air pollution in the worldwide is considered as a risk factor for human health and one...

Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds from Aqueous Solution by Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) in Batch System

Adsorption of volatile organic compounds by pecan shell- and almond shell-based granular activated carbons.

The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of using pecan and almond shell-based granular activated carbons (GACs) in the adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of health concern and known toxic compounds (such as bromo-dichloromethane, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloromethane, chloroform, and 1,1-dichloromethane) compared to the adsorption efficienc...
