Adsorption of Natural Gas Components on Activated Carbon for Gas Storage Applications

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Single-component adsorption equilibria on activated carbon of the n-alkanes C1–C4 and of the odorant tert-butyl mercaptan were measured at the operating conditions expected in a large-scale facility for adsorbed natural gas (ANG) storage. The experimental data were correlated successfully with the Adsorption Potential theory and collapsed into a single temperature-independent characteristic curve. The obtained isotherm model should prove to be very useful for predicting the adsorption capacity of an ANG storage tank and to size and optimize the operation of a carbon-based filter for ANG applications.
