An Introduction to Operation and Theory of Adsorption Technologies - Paperback

by J. Paul Guyer (Author)

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers, environmental engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in the design of liquid and vapor phase devices for the adsorption of organic chemicals. The adsorptive media addressed include granular activated carbon (GAC) and other alternative adsorption carbon media, such as powdered activated carbon (PAC) and non-carbon adsorbents. It addresses various adsorption media types, applicability, use of various adsorption process technologies, equipment and ancillary component design, availability, advantages, disadvantages, regeneration methods, costs, and safety considerations. The equipment can be installed alone or as part of an overall treatment train, based on site-specific factors.
