Analytical model for chemisorption of cyanogen chloride on impregnated carbon

An analytical model has been derived for chemisorption of cyanogen chloride in ASC carbon. This model, derived from the mass balance differential equa tion, uses simplified rate expressions for both the external diffusion and the reaction each with a decay function. Agreements between the calculated and experimental breakthroughs of cyanogen chloride are reasonably good. Ho wever, the selected values for transfer coefficients and rate constants req uire additional data for further verifications of the rate controlling step s assumed in the model.
