Adsorption

Abstract

This is attested to by the size and number of types of applications on both large scale and laboratory scale, Several large solvent recovery plants utilizing activated carbon started operations in 1951. These efficient automatic plants recover solvents for many industrial processes and are particularly valuable during shortage periods like the present. M o r e work has been reported this past year than in any previous year and the trend seems likely to continue. Subfields, such as chemisorption and chromatography, have developed to the point that a single article cannot do justice to the entire field.
