3. Inflammation of activated carbon beds

3.1 Demonstration of activated carbon filter ignition

Laboratory tests have experimentally demonstrated the ignition of a filter lined with activated carbon grains adsorbing acetone at very high concentrations, between 100 and 150 g/m ³ . Figure 6 shows these tests.

For the 100 g/m ³ concentration, a classic breakthrough curve is observed, with a breakthrough time of around 35 min and a temperature wave peaking at around 80°C.

For a concentration of 150 g/m...
