Comparative investigations of the sorption process of gaseous toluene were performed using fruit material (orange peel) and the mixture of chemically bonded phases (CBPs) as sorbents. For this study, a specially constructed system that allows exposure of sorbents to volatile air contaminants at constant concentrations was applied. The results for the prepared packings indicate a typical adsorption process described by Langmuir isotherm. In the case of orange peel, a mixed mechanism of the sorption process is suggested.
