air pollution has always been a major problem in metropolises. volatile organic compounds are one of the major pollutants that are caused by incomplete combustion of fuels in vehicles and gasoline evaporation, especially in fueling stations. removing these pollutants through traditional methods has always been considered. the paper investigates and studies chemical adsorption behavior of benzen...

conclusions results indicated that annular fluidized bed reactor’s adsorbers are useful techniques for vocs adsorption. comparison of two particle ranges indicates that in all concentrations and all flow rates of the experiments, smaller particle size adsorption are better. in superficial velocity above the minimum fluidization velocity, pressure drop of fluidized beds are less than the pressur...

Volatile compounds from the headspace gas of ten brands of the Japanese fish sauce ishiru were analyzed by GC-MS with a thermal-desorption cold-trap system. Many volatile peaks were detected and 51 compounds were identified. The major volatile compounds in ishiru included aldehydes (such as 2-methylpropanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methylbutanal, and benzaldehyde), nitrogen-containing compounds (suc...

The volatile constituents of the aerial parts of vervain (Verbena officinalis L.) cultivated locally were investigated. Analysis of the volatile fraction by GC and GC-MS is described. Compounds were identified by various methods, the major compounds being 3-hexen-1-ol (7.28%), 1-octen-3-ol (32.76%), linalool (4.66%), verbenone (20.49%) and geranial (7.22%).
