Question
1. A two-bed carbon adsorption system is to be designed to
handle 8000 acfm of air containing 700 ppm of hexane.
Laboratory studies indicate that carbon can adsorb 8 lb.
hexane per 100 lb carbon under the conditions at which the
system will be operated (net adsorption). If the system is to
operate at 90 °F and 1 atm and flow velocity of 100 ft/min,
determine the diameter of each carbon bed (in ft). Bed
regeneration and cooling will require one hour. Assume
carbon density is 25 lb/ft³. The bed depth should be at least
1 ft.
