Description:
Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
Conclusions:
In conclusion, Cbana's Phase I research has proven the feasibility of using Banasorb as an efficient adsorbent for removal of pollutants common in indoor air. Pore structures and adsorption features of these water stable Banasorbs can be fine tuned to increase their capacity and selectivity on specific TICs. They can be spray-coated on a desired substrate or made in pellet form, which makes Banasorb ready for a much broader range of industrial applications.
