Abstract

The dynamic behavior of water vapor adsorption on activated carbon filters is studied by simulation. A model, that includes axial dispersion and where the adsorption equilibrium is represented by the Dubinin-Serpinski equation, is developed. The influence of the axial Peclet number on the breakthrough curve is evaluated.
