Neutralization of solvent vapors of brand 646 by the adsorption-catalytic method

Abstract

The aim of the paper is investigation of neutralization of solvent vapors of the brand 646 by an adsorption-catalytic method. The adsorption-catalytic method includes the following stages: adsorption of the solvent components by adsorbent, thermal desorption and periodic flameless catalytic oxidation of organic substances to carbon dioxide and water. Synthetic zeolite of the NaX brand was used as a sorbent, catalyst was porous Al2O3/SiO2 ceramic foam material with an active catalytic phase. Solvent contains aceton, toluene, butylacetate, ethanol, ethyl cellosolve, n-butanol. It is shown that the value of the sorption volume of zeolite for each class of compounds depends on the certain factors: the length and structure of the carbon skeleton, the position of the hydroxyl group (for alcohols and esters), number of methyl groups in the molecules (for benzene derivatives). The conversion of the mixed solvent components was 65.4–90.1 %.
