Abstract
ⶠWe have synthesized a microporous carbon with a hydrophobic surface which gives enhanced breakthrough times (+40%) for filter-beds used for the separation of certain organic vapours under high humidity (80% RH) conditions. ⶠThese materials also show improved (reduced) ageing under high humidity storage compared to standard carbons. ⶠThey also give us an insight into the fundamental mechanism of water adsorption by active carbons and, by disrupting this process, allowing us to test current theories and ideas.
