ABSTRACT = {In this work, a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and porous media model was applied to simulate the benzene adsorption on 
activated carbon and the flow fields in a porous media. The three dimensional unsteady state the gas flow was modeled by using the laminar one phase 
flow equations in conjunction with the mass transfer equation. The adsorption rate on solid phase was implemented to the model by a user defined 
source. The model was validated by comparing the simulated breakthrough curves by experimental data. After the validation of the model, the effects 
of the operating conditions such as benzene concentration, gas flow rate and other parameters on the breakthrough curve and adsorption capacity were 
studied. The results of CFD model and experiments revealed that the total adsorption time was increased when the gas flow rate and inlet benzene 
concentration decreased. The results of flow field revealed that increasing the gas flow rate or bed porosity caused the pressure drop decreased.},
