Investigation of co-sorption of gases and vapors as a means to enhance indoor air quality. Phase 2. Radon measurement and removal from indoor air by solid adsorbents. Topical report, April 1990-July 1992
Several solid and liquid desiccants were studied to determine their ability for removing pollutants from indoor air in the presence of water vapor. This volume discusses removal capabilities of solid and liquid desiccants for radon. The adsorption data for radon was obtained on three commercially available adsorbents--BPL activated carbon, silica gel (grade 40), and molecular sieve type-13X--by the static method, where the equilibrium isotherm data of radon were obtained at three temperatures. The dynamic method was used to obtain the experimental breakthrough curves of radon from the dry and moist nitrogen streams at three temperatures. The applicability of these data in the design of a radon removal process that would operate in conjunction with a dehumidification system is discussed.
