Moisturized carbon

VSA-produced oxygen typically has a purity of 90—93%. The balance is nitrogen, argon, moisture, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. 

Immune to interference from moisture, carbon dioxide, methane and other substances... 

Coal with more than 85% w/w carbon have usually been shown to exhibit a greater degree of hydrophobic character than the lower-rank coals, with the additional note that the water density may be substantially lower than the helium density for the 80 to 84% carbon coals, there is generally little, if any, difference between the helium and water densities. However, the hydrophobicity of coal correlates better with the moisture content than with the carbon content and better with the moisture/carbon molar ratio than with the hydrogen/carbon or oxygen/carbon atomic ratios. Thus, it appears that there is a relationship... 

After installation in concrete, it is almost impossible to check the potential accurately. Measurement of the potential of the embedded electrode with a reference electrode placed on the concrete surface may give highly variable results, depending on the condition of the concrete cover (moisture, carbonation depth and chloride content). A better practice is to install two reference electrodes in approximately the same position in the concrete and compare their mutual potential difference. 

Prior to admission to the plant, the air is compressed to 135 atmospheres (2000 lb. per square inch), and cooled to —20° C. m an ordinary refrigerating apparatus. This serves to freeze out atmospheric moisture. Carbon dioxide is removed by passage through a slaked lime purifier.

With non-aqueous solvents of a hydroxylic type, such as alcohols, the corrections are probably similar to those for water other solvents must be considered on their own merits. In general, the solvent should be as pure as possible, so that the correction is, in any case, small as indicated above, access of atmospheric moisture, carbon dioxide and ammonia should be rigorously prevented. Since non-hydroxylic solvents such as acetone, acetonitrile, nitromethane, etc., have very small conductances when pure, the correction is generally negligible. 

Laboratory studies show that when the adsorbed gas is predisplaced by moisturizing, the rate of wetting is accelerated without creating dust. Another benefit arises from the fact that moist carbon particles adhere to one another consequently, moisturized carbon does not raise dust when handled. The amount of moisture needed will range from 30 % to over 50 %, depending on the type of carbon. 

Moisture should be blended with the carbon after the grinding operation because pulverizing a damp carbon can have an adverse effect on the particle size distribution, and cause the carbon to have poor filtration characteristics. Moisturized carbon should be packed in a type of container that will ensure retention of the moisture during storage. 

Moisture does not impair the adsorptive capacity carbons have been stored in water for several years without any impairment. Moisturized carbon is suitable for all aqueous solutions and also for some organic liquids. 

Inasmuch as moisturized carbon would go mainly to users of small quantities, the added freight cost would be negligible for those wishing to ensure the benefits of minimum dust and dirt. 

Grignard solutions are sensitive to moisture, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, which must thus be excluded. However, in simple operations which are not too protracted it generally suffices to exclude moisture by a calcium chloride tube on the condenser, although it is better to add a C02-absorbent such as soda-lime. 

Ethereal solutions of organomagnesium compounds are sensitive to moisture, carbon dioxide, and air. Gilman and Hewlett179 have described an apparatus by means of which access of air can be prevented completely. 

Mass spectrometry is an excellent analytical method to quantitatively measure moisture and trace amounts of low-molecular-weight organic species. In RGA, the outgassing from adhesives and other organic materials such as moisture, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons can be measured in low parts per million.
