The adsorptive performance of unmodified and modified activated carbons for the removal of a low con- tent of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-l-propene (HCFC-1233zd), 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-l-propene (HFC-1234ze), 1- chloro-l,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-l-propene (HFC-1224zb) and 2-chloro-l,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-l-propene (HFC-1224xe) halo-olefins in the 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa] product was investigated. These halo-olefinic im- purities could be substantially removed from the HFC-245fa product via the adsorption over activated carbon when the adsorption temperature was under 333 K, which can be attributed to the n-n dispersion interactions between the halo-olefins and carbon graphite layer. The basic surface groups of activated carbon could catalyze the decomposition of HFC-245fa to form HFC-1234ze. However, the significant increase in the amount of surface acidic groups of activated carbon led to a distinct decrease of adsorption capacity due to the reduction in the mi- cropore volume of adsorbent and a decrease in the strength of the n-n dispersive interactions between halo- olefin molecules and carbon basal.
