Removal of H
2S, CH
3SH and (CH
3)
3N, mixed with air in a concentration range from 10 to 800 ppm at 303 K, by use of activated carbon impregnated with NaOH or Na
2CO
3 (IAC) or sulfonated activated carbon (SAC) was studied to obtain the basic data useful for design of a deodorization process.
For the system of IAC-H
2S or CH
3SH, the adsorption equilibrium was of rectangular type and adsorption capacity could be increased as much as about 40 to 60 times of that of original carbon. For the system of SAC-(CH
3)
3N, the adsorption equilibrium obeyed the Freundlich equation and the effect of sulfonation was much larger when the concentration of (CH
3)
3N was lower in comparison with the original carbon.
Intraparticle effective diffusivity, D
ic or D
iq, was determined by curve-fitting of calculated breakthrough curves with experimental ones. The value of D
ic or D
iq decreased with the increase of the amount impregnated or the amount of acidic functional groups (-SO
3H and -COOH) introduced by sulfonation.
