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

0504385建议的工作活动将设计和评估一个基于一种相对较新型的吸附剂--活性碳纤维布(ACFC)的创新系统，以捕获并潜在地销毁挥发性污染物。这种材料具有许多理想的性能，包括高吸附容量以及理想的热性能。另一个新颖的元素是，它使用微波辐射来加热材料并解吸污染物。ACFC的表面性质也可以通过添加或移除官能团来操纵，以根据挥发性化学物质的性质促进解吸。

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.
