Evaluation of Post-Treatment Filter. Part 2: Modeling Laboratory-Scale Filter Breakthrough Data.

This report describes efforts to predict breakthrough of various challenge chemicals for the Post Treatment Filter PTF of the Pollution Abatement System PAS. The work consisted of evaluating breakthrough data for the DMMPcoconut shell carbon breakthrough experiments of Mahle and Buettner fitting model parameters to selected experimental data and finding andor developing correlations for model parameters and comparing predicted model parameter values to fitted results. Emphasis is on early breakthrough low concentration because of its importance in PTF evaluation, although the entire breakthrough curve is considered.
