Abstract:
Activated carbon (AC) injection coupled with bag filtering (ACI+BF) is a promising technology for the organic pollutant treatment in the flue gas of coal-fired power plants. The removal characteristics of six volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and adsorption pathways were investigated in a self-designed ACI+BF system. The results suggested that o-xylene had the highest removal efficiency and that was the lowest for benzene, which was influenced by their boiling points and saturated vapor pressures. The physicochemical properties of AC changed slightly after VOCs adsorption in the ACI+BF system. The VOCs removal process was dominated by physical adsorption even if the adsorption temperature was higher. With the increasing of adsorption temperature and VOCs concentration, the removal efficiency reduced; while that increased with increasing the AC feeding rate and residence time. The VOCs removal by the ACI+BF system could be divided into two processes, including the adsorption in pipeline and adsorption in the bag filter. Bag filter had an important contribution to the total removal efficiency. Increasing the length of the pipeline and reducing the dust cleaning frequency of the filter bag were useful in enhancing the organic pollutants removal efficiency.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
