A published model for estimating service lives of organic vapor (OV) air-purifying respirator cartridges has been extended to include multiple organic vapors at all humidities. Equilibria among the OVs are calculated using Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory, whereas the effects of adsorbed water are considered as due to micropore volume exclusion. Solubilities of OVs in water must also be taken int...

The formation and adsorption of CO from CO(2) and H(2) at high pressures were studied over alumina-supported noble metal catalysts (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru) by in situ FTIR measurements. To examine the effects of surface structure of supported metal particles and water vapor on the CO adsorption, FTIR spectra were collected at 323 K with untreated and heat (673 K) treated catalysts in the absence and pr...

Tetraphenyladamantane-based microporous polyimide was synthesized. It can uptake 14.6 wt% CO2 at 273 K and 1 bar, 99.2 wt% benzene and 59.7 wt% cyclohexane at 298 K and 0.9 bar, exhibiting potential applications in gas storage and recovery of organic pollutants.

A new system “MSB-AD-V-FC (BEL JAPAN Inc.)” has been developed, which has made it possible to simultaneous measurement of a water vapor adsorption and a proton conductivity to PEM under various experimental conditions (Temp; 353-473K, Humidity;0-95%RH, Press; atmospheric pressure-1.0MPa). The upper mix-conditioned run to PEM enables in a single original chamber considering of both principles of...
