Full Description

Gaseous air cleaners that are most practical and effective for indoor applications consist of granular adsorbents, with or without special impregnations. The nonpolar adsorbent of choice is activated carbon; polar adsorbents include activated alumina, silica gel, and surface-active clays.

This paper describes an air sampler that consists of 16 cylindrical cartridges manifolded in a 4 by 4 pattern. The sampler may be used in any of three modes: to test a given adsorbent for its service life in any particular indoor environment, to set up competitive tests between different adsorbents or impregnations, or to test a partially saturated adsorbent for its residual efficiency.
