Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds and Microwave Regeneration on Self-prepared High-surface-area Beaded Activated Carbon by Shih-Ying Hsiao, Shu-Wen You, Can Wang, Ji-Guang Deng, Hsing-Cheng Hsi

“…Within 12 min of microwave irradiation, excellent desorption efficiencies were shown, reaching 110 ± 14.4%, 104 ± 2.6%, 90.2 ± 2.3%, and 85.5 ± 5.7% for MEK-SBAC, MEK-KBAC, TOL-SBAC, and TOL-KBAC samples, respectively. Kinetic models were further employed to illustrate the desorption behavior, showing that intraparticle diffusion in SBAC and KBAC was the rate-limiting step during microwave heating. …”
