The °Catalytic Stripper (CS) is a heated catalytic element used to remove the semi volatile fraction of an aerosol.
The exhaust from various fossil fuels and combustion processes contain a complex mixture of solid particles and semi-volatile material found in both the particle and the vapor phase. Physical and chemical characterization of these complex aerosols gives a better understanding of potential health effects, assessing alternative combustion technologies and emission control devices, and the impact of new fuel and lubricant formulations on emissions.
