The comparison was carried out between these new adsorbents and one of widely spread commercial porous material for VOC sampling (Tenax-TA). Hydrophobic capacities, crystalline properties and high thermal resistance have been conferred to the new adsorbents.The results lead to another application way for the carbon nanostructures due to their high adsorption capacities, thermal resistance and particular hydrophobic properties, namely as efficient regenerable carriers for gas sampling in humid atmospheres. Comparison of VOC adsorption capacities prove that the carbon nanostructures can be strong adsorbents and present greater capacities than Tenax TA. |  | This paper is available to CTSI members in PDF© format. | | ISBN: | 1-4200-6382-0 |
