CONTROL OF THE ХП-И ABSORBENT PROTECTIVE CAPACITY
Purpose. Investigation of the sorption capacity of the ХП-И chemical lime absorbent for improvement of protective characteristics of the breathing apparatuses. Methods. Experimental and computational methods of investigations of the ХП-И absorbent. Results. The confidence interval of the sorption capacity has been computed for the ХП-И chemical lime absorbent produced in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Scientific novelty. For the first time it has been proposed to determine a certainty of the protective capacity of the ХП-И absorbent at the breakthrough volume ratio of carbon dioxide equal to 0.5 % instead of investigating it according to GOST 6755-88. Practical value. The obtained results of the investigations make it possible to confirm the compliance of the ХП-И chemical lime absorbent manufactured in the DPR with the regulatory documents with purpose of further improvement of the absorbent.
