Kinetics and balance of adsorption of n-butanol from its vapor-air mixtures by activated carbon from the fossil coal of the Kalewa deposit

Abstract

Abstract The use of fossil coal from local fields is a significant issue for the national economy of The Republic of The Union of Myanmar. It is important to evaluate the possibilities the coals usage in general and particularly their usage for the carbonic absorbents production. There are numbers of applied problems related to the carbon adsorption purification from vapors of volatile organic solvents. We are describing the results of a comparative study of the kinetics and balance of adsorption of butanol vapors from its PVA fossil coal deposit Kalewa (Kalewa, Myanmar) at a room temperature. This paper describes the technological aspects of processing of fossil method of steam-gas and chemical activation in order to obtain active coals and use of the latter when capturing coal by the n-butanol vapors from their mixtures with air represent and practically significant information for assessing the feasibility of these adsorbents production organizing. We analyze and prove the efficiency of use of particular methods carbonic absorbents production.
