Removal of volatile organic compounds from the coal-fired flue gas by adsorption on activated carbon

Removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from coal-fired power plants is the key to reducing VOCs emissions to the atmosphere. Adsorption on activated carbon (AC) is considered to be an economical and environment-friendly method for removal of these low-concentration VOCs. The VOCs adsorption behaviors on AC were investigated under coal-fired flue gas environment by a fixed-bed reactor. Investigations showed that adsorption capacity of the...
