Methods and conditions to test these materials introduce large discrepancies and overestimates (~90%) in the reported literature. This study describes a simple apparatus utilizing hand-held inexpensive gas sensors for testing adsorbents and hybrid adsorbent materials, explains possible sources for the observed discrepancies based on how the measurements are made, and provides guidelines for accurate measurements of adsorption capacity. Ammonia was the model gas and Ammonasorb™ activated carbon was the model commercial adsorbent. Inlet ammonia concentration, residence time, adsorbent pre-treatment (baking) and humidity, affected the measured adsorption capacities. Results suggest that the time lag in gas detection sensors leads to overestimated capacities. Monitoring both inlet and outlet concentrations using two calibrated sensors solved this issue. There was a direct relationship between adsorption capacity and residence time and capacities were higher at higher inlet concentrations. The size of the adsorbent particles did not show a significant effect on adsorption breakthrough, and the apparatus was able to quantify how humidity reduced the adsorption capacity.}, number={5}, journal={MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, author={Amid, Hooman and Maze, Benoit and Flickinger, Michael C. and Pourdeyhimi, Behnam}, year={2017}, month={May} } @misc{amid_maze_flickinger_pourdeyhimi_2016, title={Hybrid adsorbent nonwoven structures: a review of current technologies}, volume={51}, ISSN={["1573-4803"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10853-016-9741-x}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE}, author={Amid, Hooman and Maze, Benoit and Flickinger, Michael C. and Pourdeyhimi, Behnam}, year={2016}, month={May}, pages={4173–4200} } @article{amid_jeddi_salehi_dabiryan_pejman_2016, title={INVESTIGATION OF CIRCULAR WOVEN COMPOSITE PREFORMS FOR COMPOSITE PIPES}, volume={16}, ISSN={["2300-0929"]}, DOI={10.1515/aut-2015-0036}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={2}, journal={AUTEX RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Amid, Hooman and Jeddi, Ali Asghar Asgharian and Salehi, Manouchehr and Dabiryan, Hadi and Pejman, Reza}, year={2016}, month={Jun}, pages={100–108} }
