Chemical Processes and Technologies (Prof. Laura Pellegrini) Adsorption of n-hexane An airstream containing 0.2 mol% n-hexane at 20 °C has to be treated by adsorption on BPL carbon (1040 m2/g). Using the graph reported below:  estimate the equilibrium capacity for a bed operated at 20 °C;  determine how much the capacity will decrease if the bed temperature is raised to 40 °C.
