Computer program for lithium hydroxide - carbon dioxide absorption in underwater life support systems

Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) has been used as a CO2 absorbent in underwater life
support systems and the space industry. The effectiveness of the
LiOH-C0 2 reaction is a function of temperature, humidity,
composition of incoming gas, method of packing,
geometry of canister, granular size and porosity of
the absorbent. Laboratory tests are performed to
determine the effects of these factors on LiOH bed-C0 2
absorption
