Apparatus for preventing the formation of metal tarnish

摘要

An apparatus and a method for substantially preventing tarnish from forming on metal objects such as silver, copper or brass objects. It comprises an enclosure for substantially sealing within a metal object and for substantially surrounding the metal object within the enclosure. The invention also provides for the regeneration and reuse of the adsorbent by washing the adsorbent with solvent and subsequently heating to a temperature less than about 350° C. to restore an adsorptive capacity of said adsorbent.
