Removal Of Volatile Organic Compounds (Voc's) Acetone And Ethyl Alcohol Emitted In The Manufacture Of A Multi-Base Propellant, Yih-Leu Liu
Theses
The Production Base Modernization Activity located at Picatinny Arsenal, initiated this study for the removal of the low concentrations of VOC's, acetone and ethyl alcohol emitted from the mixer operation and the forced air dry unit in the manufacture of a multi -base propellant. Air pollution requirements necessitate 85 % removal of the VOC's prior to discharge of the vent gases into the atmosphere. Because of the availability of sulfuric acid, it is proposed to use 70 percent or stronger acid as the absorbing agent in a recirculating acid absorption tower.
Vapor - Liquid Equilibrium ( VLE ) data were …
