Sorbents and Mechanisms of Removal
Abstract
Surface chemistry combined with specific pore sizes was found as the most important factor for retention of small molecule toxic gases at ambient conditions. To design efficient adsorbents for TICs the materials should have small pores and specific chemistry promoting oxidation, reductions, complexation, and acid-base reactions. Those reactions lead either to incorporation of species to the adsorbents' matrix or they convert the toxic agents into nontoxic compounds. Water contributes significantly to surface reactions
