EQUILIBRIUM ADSORPTION OF KRYPTON AND XENON ON ACTIVATED CARBON AND LINDE MOLECULAR SIEVES

Equilibrium krypton and xenon adsorption isotherms were obtained for four varieties of charcoal and for Linde Molecular Sieves Types 4A and 5A, generally at 0, 25, and 60 deg C. Such data are of interest in connection with design and evaluation of adsorbers for radioactive noble gas fission products. The isotherms were fitted, by linear regression analysis, to straight-line forms of the Freundlich and Langmuir equations. The Freundlich linear equation gave the better flt and the parameters of this equation are presented for each of the isotherms. Also presented are the constants for an equation representing the temperature dependence of arbitrary adsorption coefficients calculated from the Freundlich isotherm parameters. Some aspects of the applicability and accuracy of these results are discussed. (auth)
