Among 3 methods of calculating the Relative Affinity Coefficient β used,the Molar Volume method and the Molecular Parachor method proved to be suitable for the calculation with better precision than the Electronic Polarization method. Calculation results were satisfactory for the benzene-, toluene-, and chloroform-water vapor/activated carbon systems, but poor for acetone possibly because of its strong polarity.The equation could be used to estimate the detaining effect of atmospheric humidity on the adsorption equilibrium of VOCs on activated carbon.展开更多

C and differenthumidity condi- tions. Results show that the benzene and water vaporshave depression effects upon the adsorption of each other and thatthe unfavorable effect of water vapor resembles its single-componentisotherm on activated carbon. A com- petitive adsorption model wasproposed to explore the depression mechanisms of the non-ideal,non-similar binary adsorption systems.展开更多
