This work compares two different types of water regeneration methods, continuous washing and intermittent washing, that are applied to catalytically enhanced activated carbon previously loaded with hydrogen sulfide gas. The efficiency of the two regeneration methods was evaluated using Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Coulorimetric titration using Karl Fisher reagent and apparent density "as is". The effectiveness of both methods in terms of regenerability, apparent density, and sulphur and organic loading was investigated. Results demonstrated that regeneration of the activated carbon by intermittent washing is more effective than by a continuous washing, as the former was able to remove more sulphur and organic loading from the activated carbon material than the latter, hence retaining its adsorption capacity.
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.
