Abstract
A simple thermodynamic model is developed for predicting the equilibrium adsorption of water vapor mixed with hydrocarbons on activated carbon. The model is simple to use and compares favorably with experimental data. This model is used to predict the adsorber bed behaviors during adsorption and desorption of a binary (water-benzene) mixture. During adsorption, a long leading wavefront followed by a shock wave for water vapor exists due to the S-shaped isotherm, and a significant amount of water condensation can occur.
