Table L Comparison of CEES and HD Adsorption Capacities of Activated Carbon Fabrics...

The adsorption capacity of activated carbon fabrics for CEES and HD dissolved in HFE-7100 increases with the specific surface area and as a function of the the volume average pore diameter, over the range of 0.2 nm to 2.9 nm. There is an excellent correlation between the HD adsorption values and the CEES adsorption values. Fabrics with a high mesopore concentration will exhibit significantly more liquid phase capacity for CEES and HD than microporous fabrics. Negligible off-gassing of CEES or HD is observed from activated carbon fabrics at low contaminant loadings when the contaminant is contained within the pores of the fabric.
