Static Adsorption, by Activated Carbons, of Vapour Mixtures Corresponding to Immiscible Liquids

It is shown that the static adsorption of benzene and water vapours by a typical industrial active carbon can be described by the model of independent co-adsorption proposed for compounds which are not miscible in the liquid state. The model assumes that the vapours are adsorbed according to their r...
