| Abstract |
A survey is given on the fundamental properties of activated carbons with a special view to their ability to act as a filter material in air cleaning filters for removal of gases and vapours in the industrial environment. The nature of the filtration process and its dynamic character is described and principles, definitions and terms of importance for a fundamental understanding of the design, testing and operation of small as well as large filters are given. |
