Filtration plays a major role in managing the rapid increase of environmental pollution and deterioration of atmospheric air quality. One of the most damaging noxious gases in the atmosphere is toluene, which is a common gas that appears in crude oil and is used in various production processes. The adsorption behaviour of activated carbon was examined in dependence of the concentration, temperature and relative humidity. The results showed that increasing air temperature decreased the time to reach the maximum saturation ratio, which occurred due to the increasing pore diffusion coefficient and pore diffusion rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
