Evaporation of Accumulated Multicomponent Liquids form Fibrous Filters

摘要

fibrous filters are used for environmental and occupational mist sampling and industrial mist collection. If compounds in the filtered droplets are volatile or semi-volatile, they may evaporate into the gas passing through the filter. In sampling applications, failure to properly account for evaporation of collected mist will lead to mist concentration estimates that are low. In control applications, volatilization of filtered droplets may release vapors that are harmful to workers or the public.
