โฆ Synopsis
Adsorption isotherms of nitrogen have been determined at 77 K on samples of activated charcoal cloth prepared from viscose rayon cloth after impregnation of the latter with aqueous solutions of various boron-containing compounds. Application of the as-method of isotherm analysis revealed that all the adsorbents were highly microporous but, in addition, some possessed an appreciable surface area located outside the micropore structure. This "external" area was especially large (200-300 m* g-l) in the case of activated charcoal cloths derived from samples initially impregnated with aqueous solutions containing boric acid/NaCl or boric acid/borax.

Activated carbon cloth is impregnated by dipping in solutions of cobalt acetate or nickel acetate to give a range of loadings. Prepared cloths were used to form filter beds, 20 layers thick, which were exposed to hydrogen cyanide (HCN)-laden air. Challenge concentration was 2 mg L-' HCN in air at 80
