The adsorption of ammonia onto polymer tubing used in pollutant stream conveyance
was assessed for possible systematic losses. An experimental design with three replications of 32
trials was completed to investigate the adsorption of ammonia based on two nominal
temperatures (25 and 37 oC), two nominal tubing lengths (15 and 46 meters), six nominal inlet
concentrations (2, 5, 10, 15, 25, and 35 parts per million), and two tubing materials, (Teflon and
low density polyethylene,LDPE). For a given length, mean ammonia adsorption on Teflon
tubing was found to be statistically less than that from LDPE. The effect of tubing length on
ammonia adsorption was not significant for Teflon, but was significant for LDPE. There were
significant differences between inlet and outlet concentrations of LDPE at nominal inlet
concentrations of 5 and 15 ppm (α=0.05). Overall, ammonia adsorption to Teflon was
approximately 1 ppm regardless of the magnitude of inlet concentration. This loss on to the
Teflon surface was well within the measurement sensitivity of the ammonia analyzer. Ammonia
adsorption onto LDPE tubing increased with increasing inlet concentration, temperature and
length of the tubing.
