Mechanisms of Activated Carbon Degradation by Perspiration.

Abstract

Amino acids harm the adsorption capacity of a carbon more than lactic or formic acid. Water can plug up carbon micropores. This water can be removed in a drying oven. In tests, the more harmful chemicals to adsorption capacity of an activated carbon were found to be synthetic sweat> glycine> glucosamine> d(-)ribose> 1-histidine> 1-lysine> 1-arginine> 1-proline> dl-citrulline> 1-leucine> 1-aspartic acid>glutamic acid> 1-valine> 1-serine> formic acid> dl-phenylalanine> KHCO3> uric acid> urea> NaCl>dl-alanine> CaCO3> lactic acid> H2O alone. The conduct of these tests is described. (Author)
