Abstract
The objective of this work is to find a model or method for prediction of equilibria of adsorption of solvent vapour mixtures, in low concentrations in air, on activated carbon. A very promising model is the Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST). This model and some closely related models have been evaluated with experimental data. The results show that the IAST can predict the binary data reasonably well. Single component isotherms for toluene and butanol are correlated well by the Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR), the Kisarov and the Freundlich equations. A Langmuir equation cannot represent the isotherms. The possible capacity of the DR and the Kisarov equations, for prediction of single component isotherms, is not completely supported. However, due to experimental difficulties, the amount of experimental data is so far too limited for any final conclusions.
