Abstract: | Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) was used to evaluate the active sites of several filter aids that have been promoted
for use by the deep-frying industry: activated carbon, aluminas, bleaching earths, diatomaceous earth, silica and synthetic
magnesium silicate. TPD analysis determines both the total surface concentration of the active sites and the details of their
intensity distribution. A correlation analysis was made between the adsorbents' oil treatment performance and the observed
acidic/basic sites. For some of the adsorbents, the adsorption of free fatty acids and the percent change in the color of
the oil was shown to relate to the total basic sites and acid sites, respectively. The study also showed that other factors
might affect these adsorptivities. |
