•Commissioned a new device for the investigation of gas adsorption processes. •Conducted adsorption experiments using toluene and activated carbon. Uptake values were established, and the effects of experimental variables were assessed. Optimal operating conditions for recovering toluene from air were thus determined. • Performed tests on desorption of toluene from activated carbon. Operating parameters were varied to optimize the thermal regeneration of the carbon, allowing for longer adsorption lifetimes.

•Conducted quality control tests and procedures on finished products, ensuring that standards such as gas concentration and water purity are met •Conducted a study on the efficiency of insulation for sugar transport tubes, using thermodynamic and heat transfer models, to reaffirm the necessity for basic padding
