Phase change paraffin is widely used as an important material for thermal energy storage. The color substances in the paraffin are detrimental to its thermal performance. The decolorizing of the paraffin was carried out using activated clay, silicon gel, and activated carbon as absorbents. The effects of adsorbing temperature, absorbing time, and amount of absorbents on decolorizing rate of the paraffin were investigated. The adsorption characteristics of activat...
