Adsorption Properties of Sorbents Used for Air Cleaning in Protective Structures of Civil Protection

Abstract:

The theoretical model of air purification in the filter-absorber by means of the course of the adsorption process is considered in the article, attention is paid to the concept of "protective action". The defining role in the purification of air is played by adsorbents, which fill the absorber filters. Electron scanning microscopy and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption were used to study the adsorption properties of adsorbents and to show their different natural origin. Based on the obtained adsorption characteristics of the adsorbents, the conclusions about the protective action of the filter-absorber were made.
