Adsorption of Acetone and Cumene on Activated Carbon. I. Single-component Adsorption Equilibria of Acetone and Cumene on Supersorbon HS-4

Abstract

Adsorption equilibrium data for the systems acetone/activated carbon and cumene/activated carbon measured over the pressure ranges 0.2–20 500 Pa and 2–420 Pa, respectively and over the temperature range 10–120°C have been fitted to the Langmuir, O'Brien–Myers and Toth isotherms, as well as the Dubinin-Astakhov equation. The best fit with the experimental data was obtained using the Toth isotherm and the Dubinin–Astakhov equation.
