Microwave-Swing Adsorption to Capture Hazardous Air Pollutants and Volatile Organic Compounds from Gas Streams

[0504385] Rood提议的工作活动将设计和评估一个创新系统，以捕获和潜在地破坏基于一种相对新型吸附剂的挥发性污染物，活性炭纤维布（ACFC）。这种材料具有许多理想的性能，包括高吸附能力，以及理想的热性能。另一个新颖的元素是它使用微波辐射来加热材料并吸附污染物。ACFC的表面性质也可以通过添加或去除官能团来操纵，以促进脱附，这取决于挥发性化学物质的性质。

0504385 Rood The proposed work activity will design and evaluate an innovative system to capture and potentially destroy volatile contaminants based on a relatively new type of adsorbent, activated carbon fiber cloth (ACFC). This material has many desirable properties, including high adsorptive capacity, as well as desirable thermal properties. The other novel element is that it uses microwave radiation to heat the material and desorb the contaminants. Surface properties of the ACFC can also be manipulated by adding or removing functional groups to facilitate desorption depending on the nature of the volatile chemical.
