Recent Developments in the Physical Adsorption of Toxic Organic Vapours by Activated Carbons by Robert H. Bradley

“…In contrast, specific interactions occurring at polar sites, and therefore dominated by the surface chemistry of the carbon structure, are also reviewed; critical in this respect are the interactions which occur between surface oxygen-containing groups — which are mainly present on the edge sites of the carbon planes — and water molecules, the competitive adsorption of which may seriously limit the adsorption of target species in many separation applications which are carried out in humid environments. Discussion of these aspects is followed by some comments on adsorption kinetics and dynamic filtration and, to emphasize the theoretical points which arise, examples are given of how manipulation of carbon characteristics can begin to be used to control and optimize adsorption for a range of more challenging applications.…”
