SIMPLE CALCIMETER

I presume English is not your first language...

Your request does not make sense! O₃ (also known as ozone) is a gas at room temperature; it does not freeze until around -193°, so it would have to be colder than that for there to be O₃ granules. If you are talking about some kind of granules that are designed to absorb O₃ and CO₂, we would need to know the exact kind of granules...

A 'Calcimeter' sounds like a device for measuring the calcium content (hardness) of water...

Dear DKW,

Thank you for your response. In fact you says that may be correct since I do not have Chemistry background. But on enquiry I came across the granules which are bigger than Mustard Seeds or small balls of nearly 2mm dia and these people call it Ozone Granules. On further investigation it is understood that these same Granules are used as Air Purifier of Submariners Hydro-suit.

These are having ability to absorb CO and CO2 (Carbon monoxide & Carbon dioxide) and increasing the contains of Oxygen.

Now what to call these granules either Ozone Granules or something else? But further the container in which I saw these granules are clearly marked as OZONE GRANNUALS (O3). Now what it can be?

I did a couple of Google searches, but found nothing that sounds like what you are describing. Granules of activated charcoal are used as a catalyst to speed the natural conversion of ozone into ordinary oxygen (eg. in laser printers). Granules of Calcium Hydroxide are used to remove CO₂ from gases. Beyond that, I'd be guessing...

Sorry I can't be of more help!

Dear DKW,

I also tried lot in google but in vein. Thank you for your concern to find out the solution.

OK All the Best,

Rgards,

Can you tell the color of the granules you have?

Also, I may have more luck than you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather#Carbon_dioxide_scrubber

A company: http://www.molprod.com/

For your experiment, they have color indicating granules, but I not certain this what you need.

Weight may well be the simplest quantitative method for evaluating the granules used capacity.

Other methods may be possible, depending on your application.

The colour of granuels are light acqua green.

Trying on your suggested sites.

Thank you,

Regards,

From www.molecularproducts.com SOFNOLIME GB is a CO₂ absorbent. It's green and turns to brown when exhausted.

Given the range of products they offer, they are probably OEM for quite a few brands of molecular sieves.

If you need resources in the design an instrument, we will be glad to help.

You wrote: "O₃ and CO₂ absorbent"

Aren't you looking for Ozone and Carbon dioxide detectors/ indicators? They are both gases, and do not exist in form of granules. (unless frozen as indicated in another post.) There are few materials that will detect presence of O₃ and CO₂ by changing of their color. O₃ Has a distinctive "sweet" odor, And is usually found in the vicinity of high voltage generators or power lines, while CO₂ is odorless and colorless. both fairly easy to detect. Measuring their quantity in free air is another matter and somewhat more complicated, and it seems to me that this is not your goal.

Hope it helps.
