Adsorption of Chloroform by the Rapid Response System Filter.

Abstract

Adsorption equilibria and dynamic breakthrough data were measured to determine the adsorption capacity and effect of purge air on the desorption of chloroform from activated carbon simulating the Rapid Response System (RRS) filter. The objectives of this investigation were to (1) estimate the vapor concentrations of chloroform produced in the RRS decontamination process, (2) characterize the breakthrough behavior of chloroform on activated coconut adsorbent used in the RRS filter during feed and purge cycles, and (3) provide an estimate of filter life based on routine RRS decontamination operations.
