Problem
What is the desired gas flow rate to obtain a 1-h breakthrough in treating an air stream using a carbon bed of density 0.35 g/cm3. The inlet concentration of the pollutant is 0.008 kg/m3. The bed length is 2 m and has a cross-sectional area of 6 m2. The Freundlich isotherm parameters are KFreun = 500 kg/m3 and n = 2. The mass transfer coefficient is 50 s-1.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
