Abstract Acetone is a solvent used in many laboratories and factories. Serious problems will occur when it is exposed to the environment. Therefore, a new design hydrophobicity bimetallic metal material (10-Fe1Mn1-USY) was prepared for acetone adsorption under conditions of high humidity. Hydrophobic Y type zeolite was used to prepare bimetallic metal materials and the effect of different operating parameters (including different material, humidity, temperature, pollutant concentration, residence time, and regeneration) on the efficiency of acetone treatment was examined. Isothermal adsorption model, kinetics and thermodynamic model analysis were also used to establish the reaction mechanism. The 10-Fe1Mn1-USY material has good adsorption capacity (133 mg g−1) for acetone under a relative humidity of 50%. The main factors affecting the adsorption capacity are the contact angle, hydrophobicity, specific surface area, and Si/Al of the material. The isothermal adsorption and the kinetic adsorption behavior of 10-Fe1Mn1-USY material for acetone are more suitable for the Temkin isotherm adsorption model and the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The adsorption of acetone by 10-Fe1Mn1-USY material is dominated by intra-particle diffusion. According to the thermodynamic analysis results, the adsorption behavior of 10-Fe1Mn1-USY material for acetone is a type of physical adsorption, and a spontaneous and non-sequential reaction.
