Abstract
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.

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.
An analytical method for monitoring the sorption of a sorbate in a carrier gas by a particulate sample, the method comprising the steps of:
- introducing the sample into a control container;
- mixing the sample;
- passing the carrier gas and sorbate through the control 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.
A sorbate analyser comprising:
- a control container in which a sample is placed, the sample containing a sorbate and a particulate material sorbent;
- a means for mixing the sample;
- a means for permeating a carrier gas through the sample;
- a sensor within the container which, in use, measures the sorbate concentration in the outlet gas;
- and
- a microprocessor for qualitatively and quantitatively analysing the readings from the sensor.
