Gasoline　vapor　emissions　from　service　stations　significantly　affect　urban　atmospheric.　Despite　the　research　on　the　mechanisms　and　effectiveness　of　gasoline　vapor　removal　is　limited,　this　study　innovatively　investigates　the　static　and　dynamic　adsorption　of　xylene-a　typical　gasoline　vapor　and　one　of　the　most　active　secondary　organic　aerosol　(SOA)　species-by　commercial　activated　carbon　(AC).　The　results　showed　that　the　saturation　static　adsorption　capacity　(Q(e))　of　12　ACs　varied　from　0.9　to　870.7　mg/g,　which　correlated　with　the　specific　surface　area　(SSA)　and　pore　volume.　Among　them,　11#　and　12#　ACs　were　identified　as　the　most　effective　adsorbents　for　typical　gasoline　vapor　removal.　The　maximum　dynamic　Q(e)　increased　from　301.5　to　414.3　mg/g　when　the　initial　xylene　concentration　rose　from　918　to　2008　mg/m(3)　for　11#　AC,　and　from　201.4　to　406.2　mg/g　when　the　initial　xylene　concentration　increased　from　589　to　2120　mg/m(3)　for　12#　AC.　These　findings　implied　a　direct　correlation　between　higher　initial　xylene　concentrations　and　greater　dynamic　Q(e)　values,　with　static　Q(e)　values　surpassing　dynamic　values.　The　adsorption　kinetics　simulation　were　analyzed　by　the　pseudo-first-order　(PFO)　and　pseudo-second-order　(PSO)　kinetics.　The　kinetics　results　demonstrated　that　the　PFO　was　more　effective　in　characterizing　the　adsorption　of　xylene　onto　ACs　(R-2　＞　0.989),　indicating　that　the　adsorption　of　typical　gasoline　vapor　by　ACs　primarily　involves　physical　adsorption.　The　findings　of　static/dynamic　adsorption　and　kinetics　provide　valuable　guidance　for　practical　applications　of　gasoline　vapor　removal　in　service　stations.
