The dependence of the CO2 removal efficiency of LiOH on humidity and mesh sizeThe effect of humidity on the CO2 removal efficiency of small beds of anhydrous LiOH has been studied. Experimental data taken in this small bed system clearly show that there is an optimum humidity for beds loaded with LiOH from a single lot. The CO2 efficiency falls rapidly under dry conditions, but this behavior is approximately the same in all samples. The behavior of the bed under wet conditions is quite dependent on material size distribution. The presence of large particles in a sample can lead to rapid fall off in the CO2 efficiency as the humidity increases.
