Adsorption separation Technique

Abstract

For the past few decades, adsorption techniques are one of the methods used successfully in separating azeotropic mixtures.  In the present work, Eucalyptus tree branches (Eu-GAC) and Silica adsorbent (Sand) have been studied by using a Batch Adsorption vessel to measure their capability for adsorption. The effect of contact time and adsorption dose in enhancing the adsorption process has been investigated. The results showed that the Eu-GAC agent as adsorbent appears more efficient compared to the sand agent with almost 98%.
