The affi nity of DES for VOCs was determined as vapour-liquid coeffi cients and the results were compared with several well-known DESs based on quaternary ammonium salt as well as n-hexadecane and water. For new DES, the absorption process was carried out under dynamic conditions. The results indicate that non-ionic DES has high affi nity and capacity for VOCs being comparable to n-hexadecane. In addition, absorbed VOCs could be easily desorbed from DES using activated carbon and absorbent could be re-use minimum fi ve times without significant loss of absorption capacity.}, type={Article}, title={Deodorization of model biogas by means of novel non-ionic deep eutectic solvent}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115790/PDF/Arch_vol46_pp41_46.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aep.2020.132524}, keywords={biogas, absorption, volatile organic compounds, deep eutectic solvents, deodorization method}, }
