Popis: Hyper-cross-linked polymeric resin (HPR) represents a class of predominantly microporous adsorbents and has good adsorption performance toward VOCs. However, adsorption equilibrium of VOCs onto HPR are limited. In this research, a novel method for predicting adsorption capacities of VOCs on HPR at environmentally relevant temperatures and concentrations using inverse gas chromatography data was proposed. Adsorption equilibrium of six VOCs (n-pentane, n-hexane, dichloromethane, acetone, benzene, 1, 2-dichloroethane) onto HPR in the temperature range of 403–443 K were measured by inverse gas chromatography (IGC). Adsorption capacities at environmentally relevant temperatures (293–328 K) and concentrations (P/Ps = 0.1–0.7) were predicted using Dubinin–Radushkevich (DR) equation based on Polany’s theory. Taking consideration of the swelling properties of HPR, the volume swelling ratio (r) was introduced and r·Vmicro was used instead of Vmicro determined by N2 adsorption data at 77 K as the parameter q0 (limit...
