In this study, adsorption breakthrough curves were measured and predicted for dilute, aqueous, single and_bi-solute solutions on activated carbon in fixed bed.
Single and bi-solute adsorption data(aniline, paranitrophenol and phenol) were determined experimentally for aromatic. compounds in fixed bed.
The aim of this work was to study the fixed bed multicomponent adsorption problem in more generalized way taking into account the results of adsorption equilibria and the competitive and interactive effects and to develop the necessary numerical method for its solution.
The results were as follows:
1. For multispecies adsorption, breakthrough curves were predicted on the basis of the Langmuir isotherm and the IAS theory, and the predicted values based on the IAS theory gave good results.
2. The proposed model could be used satisfactorily for the interpretation of the behavior of multicomponent fixed bed adsorption and prediction of breakthrough curves although some deviations between the predicted breakthrough curve by the IAS theory and the measured one were observed.
