Abstract

The single component adsorption of benzene and ethylene dichloride and also the adsorption of binary mixtures of benzene and ethylene dichloride have been studied in a small fixed isothermal bed containing activated carbon (AC). Results indicate that an empirical Langmuir isotherm fits the experimental data for single components. An extended form of the empirical Langmuir isotherm, in which the parameters are obtained from single component data, satisfactorily describes the adsorption of binary mixtures. Breakthrough curves of both components could be predicted with good precision studied. This paper analyses the adsorption behaviour of a mixture of VOCs (benzene–ethylene dichloride) on AC, due to the lack of information regarding the adsorption of mixtures.
