Abstract
values of 0.99067 and 0.99142, respectively, suggesting a hybrid adsorption mechanism involving monolayer and multilayer adsorption. From the desorption study, it was found that the recovery of TCE-vapor from activated carbon is possible, and hence its reuse. This study confirms the suitability of activated carbon as an adsorbent for the removal of TCE vapors emitted from industrial and domestic sources. The details of the experiments and results are discussed in this article.
