Activated carbons - VOC removal

Area: Separations - Experimental

Description: This project has the objective of developing a method for the polluted air purification in closed enviroments throught an adsorption system based on activated carbons. Unlike the currently used systems this idea foresees a way to regenerate the exausted and saturated carbons directly inside the filters, the innovative idea lead this progect to the win of the prize Seed4Innovation.
The work is mainly experimental on a small scale laboratory plant, with parts of synthesis and characterization of the carbons.

Key-words: Adsorption, separation proccess, gas mixtures, VOC, pollutant

Activities: Bibliographic research, data elaboration, symulation (10%); Experimental activity (90%)
