Determination of adsorption coefficients of 222Rn on activated charcoal by adsorption-desorption in a simple laboratory apparatus.
Adsorption coefficients of 222Rn on six activated charcoal were determined by adsorption-desorption technique by using an unknown radon source and Erlenmeyer flasks. They varied from 0.94 to 4.26 L g(-1). The proposed method is a simple one and can be used in any small laboratory.
