ABSTRACT:
A method for separating volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as trichloroethylene, from air by sorption followed by desorption of the VOCs. The VOCs from the contaminated ground water are air stripped and then sorbed on a sorbent, such as a polyester elastomer or carbon filled rubber. The VOCs are then desorbed by, for example, heating the sorbent, to recover the VOCs. The recovered VOCs may be incinerated or reused.
