Abstract
Systems and method of removing volatile organic compounds from gaseous streams are described herein. The systems include an airbox having activated carbon mixed into a polypropylene matrix. The airbox may be used in the adsorption of gasoline vapors through a vehicle air intake manifold to reduce the emissions of gasoline vapors from motorized vehicles.
Claims19
An airbox for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds, the airbox comprising:
- a sorbent material product comprising a polymer matrix and a sorbent material positioned within the polymer matrix,
- wherein the polymer matrix comprises one or more of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, and polytetrafluoroethylene, and
- wherein the sorbent material is present within the polymer matrix in an amount of about 5 wt. % to about 40 wt. %.
A method for adsorbing volatile organic compounds, the method comprising:
- providing a sorbent material product comprising a polymer matrix and a sorbent material positioned within the polymer matrix;
- and
- contacting the sorbent material product with an air stream comprising volatile organic compounds,
- wherein the polymer matrix comprises one or more of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylchloride, and polytetrafluoroethylene, and
- wherein the sorbent material is present within the polymer matrix in an amount of about 5 wt. % to about 40 wt. %.
