RE: Carbon suits
Purpose of the test: This test was intended to test the ability to reactivate carbon suits in a drier.
A little info about myself. I have a bachelors degree in Biology and a minor in chemistry. I am working on my thesis right now to complete my masters in Chemical Engineering. I work as a chemist full time. I have access to all the necessary equipment to perform this test under a controlled environment.
I will not argue whether carbon will adsorb scent. Activated carbon is used by companies world wide to control vapor release and scent/chemical containment. I can provide documentation from many scientific journal that support this claim. The statement that carbons suits don' t adsorb scent is based on a lack of information. They do adsorb scent. PERIOD.
The question is whether or not they can be reactivated by a normal household drier. Sorry if I confused anyone. These carbon suits will become " full" of scent and need to be cleansed or reactivated. This test was only meant to demonstrate the affectiveness of heating the suit to a control temperature that would approximate a clothes drier.
I am in no way affiliated with any hunting supply company, association, or service. I would not mind any job offers though.
