Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS
Multi-adsorption system at Fraunhofer IWS.
Mass flow controller for the control of various gases.
Adsorbents selection.
The multi-adsorption system from SEMPA allows to record breakthrough curves for various types of porous adsorbents (activated carbons, zeolites, metal-organic framework compounds, etc.) under customized measurement conditions. Thereby, the suitability of a material for the adsorption of certain pollutant gases can be identified. Gas breakthrough can be determined gas-dependently using different technologies. Thus, simultaneous detection of up to four gases is possible even at very low concentrations, allowing the competitive behavior of different gases during adsorption on a material to be assessed. Furthermore, conditioning of the gas stream or the gas mixture with moisture is possible.
