Abstract:

Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) by Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) has been widely investigated as an alternative to CNG and LNG technologies for storage and transportation of natural gas. In the present work, a theoretical and experimental study was conducted to accurately determine the amount of adsorption of CH4 by GAC. To carry out the experiments, the volumetric method was used up to 4 MPa at constant temperature of 298 K. Also, various adsorption isotherm models were used to model the experimental data collected from the experiments. The accuracy of the results              obtained from the adsorption isotherm models was compared and the values for the regressed parameters were reported. The results shows that the amount of CH4 adsorbed is dependent on the physical characteristics of activated carbons. Moreover, the Toth, two term TVFM and Sips isotherm models show good agreement with the experimental data.

Batch Study on COD and Ammonia Nitrogen Removal Using Granular Activated Carbon and Cockle Shells

Landfills generate leachate that contains elevated concentration of contaminants and is hazardous to human health and the ecosystem. In this study, the mixture of granular activated carbon and cockle shells was investigated for remediation of COD and ammonia from stabilized landfill leachate. All adsorbent media were sieved to a particle size between 2.00 and 3.35 mm. The optimum mixing ratio, ...

An Experimental Design Study for CH4, C2H6 and C2H4 Adsorption and C2s/CH4 Selectivity on 10X Zeolite

CH4, C2H6 and C2H4 are the most important outlet gaseous of oxidative couple methane (OCM) reaction and this process is a new technology for conversion of natural gas to ethane and ethylene products. In this study, adsorption of OCM outlet hydrocarbons over 10X zeolite has been examined at equilibrium conditions. Temperature and pressure are the most effective operational parameters in the batc...
