SOLVENT RECOVERY APPARATUS
 |
TOYOBO has succeeded in development
of a very unique activated carbon fiber(K-Filter;KF)
which is much superior to conventional activated carbon
as an adsorptive material and also made it possible
to utilze K-Filter for the solvent recovery apparatus.
K-Filter solvent recovery apparatus has been appreciated in many industrial sectors
for the purpose of the environmental protection and of the saving resources. |

- High adsorbing efficiency:
- As the adsorbing speed of K-Filter is very high, a solvent
gas can be adsorbed rapidly and completely.
- Light weight and compact size:
- Since K-Filter has a large surface,
the adsorbing material is 1/15 -1/100
as less in weight as conventional ones.
This can make the equipment lighter
and more compact.
- Better
quality of recovered solvent:
- The
desorbing of K-Filter can
be made much more quickly,
at lower temperatures and
more shortly, compared with
that of granular activated
carbon(g-AC). This easiness
of the desorption guarantees
the high purity of the recovered
solvent by decreasing the
solvent decomposition.
- Automatic
operation:
- Full
automatic
system
makes
the
operation
easy.
The
desorption
time
is
very
short
and
this
results
in
almost
no
disturbance
to
the
operation.
- Better
safety(safe
construction):
- The
equipment
is
operated
under
the
safe
normal
pressure
condition.
The
wide
surface
area
of
the
K-Filter
makes
it
easy
to
release
the
adsorption
heat.
- Gas
containing
the
high
boiling
point
substance
can
be
applied:
- In
case
of
application
to
such
high
boiling
point
substance
as
silicon
oil
and
mineral
oil
and
such
a
polymerizable
monomer
as
styrene
and
MMA,
this
equipment
can
be
used
long
since
the
excellent
absorption
ability
is
kept
for
a
long
time.
- This
equipment
can
adsorb
and
recover
many
kinds
of
organic
solvents
in
various
fields:
- KF
apparatus
can
treat
and
recover
the
solvents
which
are
difficult
to
be
treated
by
conventional
equipment,
such
easily
decomposed
solvent
as
tetrachloromethane,
trichloroethane
and
etc.,
such
solvents
with
high
boiling
points
as
trimethyl
benzene,
phenol
and
etc.,
and
such
solvents
as
described
above
containing
much
of
high
boiling
point
substances.
