Abstract
This document provides information on adsorption systems, how they operate and how to choose among the different systems. Adsorption systems are widely used to control emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Readers of this document will understand:
- adsorption air pollution control systems
- differences among the available adsorbents
- how to choose between different adsorbents and adsorption systems for the control of a specific VOC stream
