Molecular Adsorption
What is Adsorption?
Adsorption is a process that occurs when a gas or liquid solute accumulates on the surface of a solid, forming a molecular or atomic film (the adsorbate). The carbon utilized for radioactive iodine removal is nuclear grade 8″x16″ mesh and is impregnated with TEDA to improve retention of radio-iodines.
RPS offers adsorbers in both circular and square cross-sections.

Molecular AdsorptionPFC HT-500 Adsorber
The PFC HT-500 is an economical highly portable carbon adsorber (HEGA) for nuclear applications. The adsorber utilizes Nuclear Grade activated carbon which results in a highly efficient adsorber for removal of airborne radioiodine (Iodine-131).
Adsorber residence time:
- 0.286 second residence time at 500 cfm flow, pressure drop of 0.60in.wg
- 0.125 seconds residence time at 1140 cfm flow, pressure drop of 1.59 in.wg.

Molecular AdsorptionPFC(H)-500 Adsorber
The PFC(H)-500 is the most economical high efficiency adsorber available. Using nuclear grade impregnated carbon, this adsorber provides 1/4 second residence time at rated flow as per ANSI requirements. This ensures effective sorption of organic radioiodine and noble gases. The pressure drop on this unit is only 1.7″ water gage which impacts the airflow minimally. The upstream prefilter and HEPA filter protect the carbon element from dirt loading which would severely decrease efficiency and flow. Connected upstream of a HEPA filtration blower module, the system provides versatility and reduced space/cost over comparable single housing carbon/HEPA/blower units.
