Feasibility Study for Reuse of Activated Carbon for the Capture of Methyl Bromide Used for Decontamination

Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development, National Homeland Security Research Center (NHSRC). Published: 5/2019. This 64-page document describes a study that quantified how well an activated carbon (AC) sample maintained its adsorption capacity for methyl bromide (MeBr) over several adsorption/desorption cycles, using three different gas conditions. Methyl bromide fumigation has been shown to be effective in decontaminating buildings contaminated with Bacillus anthracis (Ba) spores. (PDF)
