• Description:
  A program is described for evaluating the efficiency of solid sorbers for collecting trace quantities of hydrogen fluoride, phospine, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, and fluorine in work atmospheres for subsequent laboratory analysis. The gas handling and sampling instrumentation is described, and experimental results to date are presented. Sodium acetate is a very efficient sorber for hydrogen fluoride, and its solubility in water proves to be highly advantageous for subsequent HF determination by ion selective electrode. Potassium permanganate impregnated silica gel sorbs phosphine effectively, and Ascarite has been found to sorb hydrogen cyanide, but quantitative experiments on the latter two systems are still in progress.
