Summary:Methane adsorptions on various synthesized and commercial activated carbons were assessed in a volumetric apparatus for the design of an efficient adsorbed natural gas storage system. Based on the methane adsorption equilibrium results from different carbon based materials, a monolith was also produced from RP-20. Dynamic studies were also performed for the prepared monolith and the pelletized commercial Norit-B4 activated carbon. The temperature variation in RP-20 monolith was analyzed and compared with those of Norit-B4 and a blank test, which consisted of a run without a sample. The temperature variation in RP-20 monolith was quite high compared to that observed with Norit-B4 and the blank test because of a higher isosteric heat of adsorption and a high packing density.
