Abstract
Activated carton fabrics and yarns were shown to effectively sorb gases, vapors, and dissolved solids. Fabrics pre pared by Arons and Macnair (phenotic precursor) and Maggs (viscose precursor) were the most activated of all the materials studied. The yarns had a lower activity but probably can be improved to have comparahly high sorption capacity. Other materials studied included permeable textile systems made by mechanically reinforcing carbon fabrics and yarns with stronger materials. For example, selected fabrics were laminated or quilted between two other fabric layers while the yarns were knitted or woven with other yarns.
