Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Paper as a Sorbent for Organic Vapor Preconcentration

Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotubes in paper form are characterized as an adsorptive material for a thermally-desorbed preconcentrator for organic vapors. Adsorbed vapors were released by a temperature programmed desorption method and detected downstream. The tested vapors, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, and dimethyl methylphosphonate were released from the packed column at different temperatures and simple mixtures could be partially separated by the thermal desorption process.
