Multicomponent organic compounds adsorption/desorption model for prediction of the lifetime of a charcoal filter

For that study, a model was developed to simulate adsorption and desorption of multicomponent organic compounds in a charcoal filter and to predict its lifetime. A method was also proposed to estimate parameter values of organic compounds with unknown properties. The comparison of the simulated and measured adsorption breakthrough curves for a multicomponent system allowed the validation of that newly developed simulation system
