It was investigated that the dynamics and the characteristics of adsorption in a fixed bed adsorber for two-component adsorption of phenols on activated carbon in solution. Thus the phenols used are phenol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol.
Single component and two-component adsorption data were determined experimentally for phenols in a fixed bed on activated carbon.
The aim of this work was to study the fixed bed two-component 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 two-component adsorption, breakthrough curves were predicted on the basis of the IAS theory, and the predicted values gave good results.
2. The proposed model could be used satisfactorily for the interpretation of the behavior of two-component 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
