We do not use heat to reactivate them but rather replace them at around 200 - 1000 hours of use depending on the canister type and construction.
That is what everyone does with it.........they use it up and toss it out and replace it. Or they pay large sums of money to have it reactivated by pyrolysis at a commercial plant.......the bottom line always comes down to money. If you are using incredible amounts of carbon it is cheaper to get it reactivated..........if not just toss it and get some new stuff.
I can tell you this, the ability of charcoal to removegasses andvapor particles from the surrounding atmosphere is well scientifically proven
Maybe you should have read the thread............no one is debating that fact.
To keep it barney simple
You don't have to keep it Barney simple..........I have more letters after my name then in it
It may not remove or dislodge all of the scent molocules but it will remove a vast majority of them as they are only attached to the surface irregularities of the charcoal not actually absorbed by them.
That is what I am waiting for the proof of..............The problem is it's not Barney simple......there are many molecules that get sucked up by the suit that won't come out.........there is scent in your dryer.......you don't know what the suit was subjected to before you bought it..........you don't know if the suit provides a airtight seal for scent..........do the carbon fibers seperate??........what if it's wet??......are all dryers the same?? There are 100 variables to your Barney simple explanation.
It was not that long ago that people believed that the world was flat. Because we do not fully understand something does not make it un-true.
Couldn't have said it better myself
...........people did "believe" the world was flat. How did they find out the truth?? They set sail and proved it. Read the thread........it is very clear that the ones who question the validity of the carbon suits claims are those that DO understand carbon and the chemistry, physics and science behind it.
