Abstract
Sorption of motor fuel vapors by sorbents of different natures is described. The goal is to select the optimum sorbent to prevent fuel losses from evaporation during storage. Industrial medium-pore silica gels KSS-3 and KSS-4 are effective in recovery. Industrial zeolite NaX and SKT activated carbon have high adsorption power, but they are difficult to regenerate due to strong retention of hydrocarbons and secondary catalytic processes. A model of a system for preventing fuel losses from evaporation was created and industrial tests were conducted.
