Abstract

Adsorption experiments of three target gases such as acetone, benzene, and methyl mercaptan (MM) were carried in a continuous reactor using the activated carbon prepared from waste citrus peel. In a single gas system, the breakthrough time obtained from using the activated carbon (WCAC) prepared from waste citrus peel. In a single gas system, the breakthrough time obtained from the breakthrough curve decreased with increasing the inlet concentration and flow rate, but increased with respect to the aspect ratio (L/D). Adsorbed amounts of the target gases by WCAC increased as a function of the inlet concentration and aspect ratio. However, adsorbed amounts with the increase of the flow rate were different depending upon target gases. Results from the breakthrough time and adsorbed amount showed that the affinity for WCAC was the highest in benzene, followed by acetone and then MM. On the other hand, in the binary and ternary systems, the breakthrough curve showed a roll-up phenomenon where the adsorbate having a small affinity for WCAC was replaced with the adsorbate with a high affinity. The adsorption of acetone on WCAC was more strongly affected when mixing with the nonpolar benzene than that of using sulfur compound MM.

폐감귤박으로 제조한 활성탄(WCAC)을 충전한 고정층 반응기에서 아세톤, 벤젠 및 메틸메르캅탄(MM)의 3종류의 대상가스에 대한 흡착특성을 검토하였다. 단일성분계의 경우에 파과곡선으로부터 구한 파과시간은 유입농도 및 유량이 증가할수록 감소하였으나 형상비(L/D)가 증가할수록 증가하였다. WCAC에 의한 대상가스의 흡착량은 유입농도 및 형상비가 증가할수록 증가하였으나 유량증가에 따른 흡착량은 대상가스에 따라 차이를 나타내었다. 파과시간 및 흡착량 결과에 의하면 WCAC에 대한 친화력은 벤젠이 가장 높고, 다음으로 아세톤 그리고 MM의 순서이었다. 한편, 2성분계 및 3성분계 혼합가스의 흡착 경우에 파과곡선은 WCAC와 친화력이 작은 흡착질은 친화력이 큰 흡착질로 치환되면서 roll-up 현상을 보였다. 그리고 WCAC에 의한 아세톤의 흡착은 황화합물인 MM보다 비극성인 벤젠과 혼합되어 있을 경우에 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다.
