Abstract:A Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model to describe the adsorption of volatile organic compounds on activated carbon beds was developed, using the Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm with a Linear Driving Force (LDF) kinetic model. The model was validated using experimental breakthrough data for cyclohexane. The model was then used to predict the impact of adsorption kinetics in small activated carbon beds. The adsorption showed two distinct phases: an initial period where contaminant very rapidly … Show more
