A novel method based on solid gas removal (SGR) based on GQDs and MWCNTs as an efficient adsorbent was used for ethylbenzene removal from air in Robson quartz tubes (RGT). After synthesized and purified of GQDs and MWCNTs, a system was designed for generation of ethylbenzene in air with difference concentrations, and then the mixture was moved to quartz tubes with UV radiation in optimized conditions. The ethylbenzene in air was absorbed on the 25 mg of GQDs or MWCNTs, desorbed from sorbent at 146oC and determined by GC-FID. ER -
