Environmental hazards caused by halogenated hydrocarbons and increasingly stringent regulations for limiting their emission require comprehensive investigations of these substances. The present work deals with the adsorption and desorption of halogenated hydrocarbons on activated carbon. The results could be useful in the utilization of landfill gases because halogenated hydrocarbons must be removed in order to avoid pollution and the loaded activated carbons have to be regenerated. Activated carbons are well suited to removal and recovery of halogenated hydrocarbons from gas flows.
