The Effect Of Grinding On The Sorption Capacity Of Activated Carbon, John Garrett Dempsey
The Effect Of Grinding On The Sorption Capacity Of Activated Carbon, John Garrett Dempsey
Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The current procedure employed to design full scale activated carbon contacting systems is presented in detail and followed by a review of the more important process controls and operating parameters. Inherent limitations of the design procedure are identified, with the need to be able to accurately predict carbon sorption capacity from bench scale analysis determined to be the most important. Some of the more recent models developed to predict activated carbon sorption capacity were analyzed leading to the realization that even the most sophisticated dynamic models were based upon sorption capacities determined from classical isotherm procedures. The validity of the …
