Abstract

Equilibrium adsorptions of H₂ and CH₄ from their mixture on three commercial activated carbons are measured by analyzing the breakthrough curves of the more strongly adsorbed CH₄ at 25 and 204°C and pressures up to 1000 psia. Three methods of predicting adsorption of mixture based on single-gas isotherms are used and compared with experimental data: ideal adsorbed solution theory, modified Polanyi-Dubinin potential theory and loading ratio correlation. None of the methods seems to have a distinct advantage over the others. However the loading ratio correlation is the only non-iterative method.
