We measured the time-dependent transmission of hydrocarbons and their mixtures at low concentrations through adsorber beds at temperatures in the range 0 to 30/sup 0/C. The beds were packed with solid adsorbents (viz., (Columbia 4LXC 12/18) activated carbon and crosslinked polystyrene). We obtained adsorption capacities and adsorption isotherms. Summaries of experimental work for adsorption on activated carbon are tabulated. The experimental work for adsorption on crosslinked polystyrene is also summarized in tables for step-function inputs and for pulse inputs of adsorbate gases.
