ABSTRACT:
Process of recovering a hydrophobic organic compound(s) by contacting a chemically activated shaped carbon with a hydrophobic organic compound to repeatedly absorb and desorb the compound, thereby recovering the same. The activated carbon is such that it has a bulk density of 0.25 to 0.6 g/cm.sup.3, a pore volume of 0.65 to 1.2 cm.sup.3 /g, a bulk density.times.pore volume of 0.25 to 0.4 cm.sup.3 /cm.sup.3, a surface area of at least 1000 m.sup.2 /g, a mean pore size of 18 to 35 angstroms, a bulk density.times.surface area of at least 400 m.sup.2 /cm.sup.3, and which chemically activated carbon effectively adsorbs butane in an amount of 8.0 to 15 g/100 ml. The process is especially suitable for absorbing gasoline vapor in an automobile exhaust and releasing the absorbed gasoline for reuse in the operation of the engine.
