Determination of the Henry constant for zeolite-VOC systems using massic and chromatographic adsorption data

Both the inverse gas chromatographic method and the dynamic gravimetric-calorimetric method were tested in order to determine the Henry constant for toluene on a Na-faujasite type zeolite. We used the pulse technique for the chromatographic method and a system generating low concentration of VOC in a helium flow for the gravimetric technique. The experimental determinations of the Henry constants for toluene were achieved in two different temperature ranges (from 363 to 548 K for gravimetry and from 548 to 673 K for chromatography). The results presented in this paper show the complementarity of two different techniques for the Henry constants determination. The Henry constants obtained with the two techniques at 548 K differ from 8%.
