foamed polyurethane sorbent

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.10241

Sorbent consisting of spherical, micron-sized, agglomerated particles bound together in a rigid and highly porous structure used for the extraction of semi-volatile organic compounds from air in high-volume samplers.

Notes:
  1. Their main attribute is their favourable aerodynamic properties, which permit sampling at high flow rates.
  2. Foamed polyurethane sorbents have a minor use for extracting compounds from water.
