TLDR
The analytical equipment used in the study of physical properties of the loading of the biological air treatment systems and the lab-scale biologicalAir treatment systems are described in this chapter.Abstract:
This chapter continues the description of the third sustainability level and features of environmental protection technologies with the example of biofiltration systems. Attention is given to the natural materials used in biofiltration systems to better sustain the technological performance. The analytical equipment used in the study of physical properties of the loading of the biological air treatment systems and the lab-scale biological air treatment systems are described in this chapter. Besides, the results of studying the influence of the moisture of the loading material of the filters and the conduction for the gas stream as well as the air cleaning effectiveness, temperature, acidity (pH) and oxygen distribution within the load are presented.read more

Mercury porosimetry: An inappropriate method for the measurement of pore size distributions in cement-based materials
TL;DR: In this article, the conditions that must be met for MIP measurements to provide valid estimates of the pore size distribution of porous solids are reviewed and evidence is presented indicating that these conditions are not satisfied in cement-based systems.
