Sorbate analysis method and apparatus

摘要

An analytical method for monitoring the desorption of a sorbate from a particulate sample, the method comprising the steps of: introducing the particulate sample into a control container, mixing the sample; passing a carrier gas through the container such that it permeates the sample; repeatedly measuring the concentration of the sorbate in the outlet gas as it leaves the container; and analysing the readings from the measuring step.
