An adsorption model to predict the time-dependent removal efficiency of methyl iodide by a triethylene-diamine-impregnated charcoal bed under various operating conditions is proposed. The mass transfer controlling step is pore diffusion. Under humid conditions, the reduction of equilibrium adsorption capacity and effective pore diffusivity is considered. The predicted values agree well with the experimental results.
