| Abstract |
1,3-Butadiene recently has been classified as a potential occupational carcinogen. The performance of Scott organic vapour (642-OV), organic vapour/acid gas (642-OA) and acid gas (642-AG) twin cartridges was determined for 1,3 butadiene. A cartridge test system was developed to generate challenge concentrations of 100ppm and 1000ppm; an infrared analyser was used to measure breakthrough at 10ppm. The twin cartridges tested demonstrated reasonable adsorption capacity for 1,3 butadiene. Cartridge service life was inversely proportional to airflow rate; it was reduced at elevated temperature and humidity conditions. Breakthrough times were approximately three times longer at 100ppm than at 1000ppm. When clean air was drawn through cartridges saturated with 1000ppm 1,3 butadiene, desorption occurred readily. The rate of desorption and the peak concentration were dependent upon the temperature, humidity and degree of saturation. |
