Abstract:
The adsorption and desorption of radon on five types of activated carbon and the effect of various airborne contaminants on the adsorption process was studied, the dynamic adsorption coefficient for the carbon samples tested was found to range from 2.4 +/- 0.2 to 7.1 +/- 0.71 g-1. Iso-octane was found to reduce the dynamic adsorption coefficient significantly.
