How Does Water Presence Affect Methanol Adsorption On Active Carbon? In this paper by M. Rösler et al., it is compared the adsorption properties of several methanol samples with different purity levels and water content, exploring the pressure dependence of kinetic parameters.
Paper title: Energy efficiency of a hybrid membrane/condensation process for VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) recovery from air: A generic approach B. Belaissaoui, Y. Le Moullec, E. Favre, Energy, 95 (2016) 291-302 This article provides an insightful analysis of the challenges faced by the industrial sector in managing waste air streams containing low boiling organic molecules, …
In many industrial processes, organic solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) are used, and activated carbon (AC) is commonly used to recover these volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, MEK adsorption on AC presents several issues such as hydrolysis and oxidation in the presence of water vapor and oxygen, which reduces AC performance. Additionally, adsorption …
