Activated carbon adsorption, is the use of activated carbon on the solid surface of the water adsorption or a variety of substances, in order to achieve the role of water purification.
The adsorption of activated carbon is produced in two aspects.One is that the molecules inside the activated carbon are subjected to equal forces in all directions while the molecules on the surface are subjected to uneven forces.This makes other points adsorbed on its surface, which is physical adsorption;The other is due to the chemical action between activated carbon and adsorbed substances, which is chemical adsorption.The adsorption of activated carbon is the result of the comprehensive action of the above two kinds of adsorption.
When the adsorption speed and desorption speed of activated carbon in the solution is equal, that is, the number of activated carbon adsorption is equal to the number of desorption, the concentration of the adsorbed material in the solution and the concentration on the surface of activated carbon are no longer intermingled, that is, to achieve the balance, the dynamic balance at this time is called activated carbon adsorption balance.The selection of treatment technology should be based on the gas volume, purification requirements, the possibility of recovery, the economy of equipment construction and operation and other conditions. Special attention should be paid to the close cooperation with the process in practical work, so as to achieve comprehensive utilization as far as possible.
At present, there are three common methods of organic waste gas treatment at home and abroad: liquid absorption method, activated carbon adsorption method and catalytic combustion method.
The purification efficiency of liquid absorption method is 60%~ 80%, which is suitable for treating low concentration and large volume of organic waste gas, but there are secondary pollution.pelletized activated carbon
The purification rate of catalytic combustion method is 95%, which is suitable for the treatment of high concentration and small air volume organic waste gas. The disadvantage is that it has strict requirements on the treatment object and requires high gas temperature. In order to improve the exhaust gas temperature, it needs to consume a lot of fuel, so the operation cost is very high.
