Mine Rescue Operation of Akrosorb Soda Lime

Akrosorb Soda Lime absorbs CO2 in personnel rebreathers for mine (miner’s gas mask), fire and other safety systems. It is also used in oxygen-based metabolism, in estimation respirators, breathing apparatus etc.

Hardness:

Akrosorb granules are hard enough to ensure that the granules do not break down under high humidity conditions and remain in perfect condition to use without any degradation.

Color Indicator:

Akrosorb Soda Lime is available in 2 types:

With Indicator:

As the Soda Lime becomes less effective during use, the granules change their color.

Color Indicator is available in 2 types:

Pink to White Indicator on absorption of CO2.

White to violet Indicator on absorption of CO2.

This color change should not be used to determine when to replace your absorbent, but simply as an indication of recent use.

Without Indicator:

Akron Healthcare also manufactures Soda Lime (without indicator) i.e. white color granules that do not change in color on CO2 Absorption.

Particle Shape and Size:

Shape

Akrosorb Soda Lime granules are available in various shapes that include irregular pebble shaped granules, uniform shaped granules, cylindrical shaped granules, d-shaped granules and pellet shaped granules depending on the intended application and customer specification.

The water content can also be varied depending on the application.

The point to be ensured is that the shape of the granules should maximize CO2 absorption and minimize dust formation.
