Abstract: The dynamics of adsorption on active carbon HS 43 was investigated for the following adsorptives: ethyl acetate, butyl alcohol, toluene, and vapour of industrial solvents S 6001, S 6712, and С 6000. Nitrogen was used as carrier gas. On the basis of the calculated degree of sorbent saturation and height of zone of mass transfer, it has been found that active carbon HS 43 is suited to trapping the vapour of solvents S 6001 and S 6712. It has been revealed from the course of temperature curves that the layer need not be cooled before adsorption because all released heat is removed by the carrier gas.
