La regeneration par echauffement intrinseque, de charbons actifs utiuses pour le traitement d'air

Abstract
A procedure allowing an efficient regeneration by Joule effect, of activated carbons (granular or fibrous) used for the purification of hydrocarbon polluted air is proposed. This process was developped on pilot units feed. Optimal operation conditions (electrical power, temperature, air flow rate) were determined. Further, suggestions were made for the recovery of the desorbed solvents and potential applications of the procedure.
