Optimization of radon measurements with active charcoal.
This paper examines the possibilities for improving the integration characteristics of active charcoal by using finite elements method simulation. Two different modes were considered separately: the period of active adsorption, when the activity of radon in charcoal increases, and the saturation period, when the activity is constant. The time when saturation begins depends on the thickness of the layer of charcoal. It was found that the peak amortization is 24 h in active adsorption and 36 h in saturation period for examined charcoal and canister.
