Abstract

[Abstract] Experimental data from the Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague were analysed to derive some simple models of the rate of adsorption of either styrene or acetone from dilute air mixtures on sterile beds of activated carbon or perlite. It was found that the rate of progress towards the saturation of these beds could be reasonably accurately represented by a first order Lagergren model, where the rate constant had a value in the range 0.0039 to 0.29 min-1.
