Sorbent systems are used in a wide range of applications, from chemical factories to aircraft cabins. Small-scale testing saves materials and time; this project’s goal is to design a small-scale system to test the efficiency and capacity of industrial-grade sorbents.
The team compared the adsorption and desorption capabilities of two sorbents: APG-III and AZ-300. Sorbents were tested for their ability to adsorb and desorb volatile organic compounds introduced into an air stream at low concentration, on a scale of parts per billion.
A ppbRAE 3000 wireless handheld volatile organic compound monitor, which is capable of ambient temperature adsorption and temperature-swing desorption, was used to acquire concentration data.
