Abstract The removal of ozone from an air stream by activated-cocoanut
charcoal was investigated from the literature and experimentally.
The experimental investigation showed that activated-cocoanut charcoal
can be used to remove concentrations of ozone less than 1.0
ppm with high efficiencies. The mechanism of the ozone removal
appeared to be a function of both the concentration of ozone entering
the charcoal filter and the detention time of the air stream in the
charcoal filter.
The ozone-removal capability of a glass fiber superinterception
particulate filter was also investigated.
In addition, possible utilization of activated charcoal for ozone
removal in trace contaminant control systems is discussed.
