![]() ![]() Anyone who has taken a chemistry lab and has used activated carbon knows that it has a high affinity for non-polar organic compounds. WTF? THC and cannabinoids are very non-polar. Non-polar substances (Substances which are non soluble in water).Adsorption of halogenated substance: I, Br, Cl, H en F.Adsorption of organic, non-polar substances such as:.Activated carbon is used for the following: Now I was trying to think of another type of diffuser that would work and the ROOR carbon filter came to mind. Another flaw is that non-polar carcinogens and other smoke particles will also be very insoluble in water and will avoid contact with polar solutions such as water thus keeping them away from the walls of the bubble. My theory is that when the smoke particles contact the edge of the bubble, some of them bounce right off the surface of the inside of the smoke bubble and never diffuse through the bubble into the water. ![]() Many bugs can walk on water without ever breaking the surface, the same would apply to light carcinogens. Another flaw is that the surface tension of water is very strong, especially for anything with a low density/high surface area. Also the surface area of the smoke inside the bubbles is astronomically greater than the surface area of the walls of the bubbles. ![]() The smoke particles in the bubbles are moving at relatively the same net speed as the bubble so the majority of the smoke particles do not contact the edge of the water. The bubbles are continuously divided and move quickly but I thought of a flaw in the efficiency of water diffusion. When a user takes a hit of a waterpipe, the smoke meets the surface of the water and the surface tension of the water encloses the smoke to form a bubble that isolates the non-polar smoke from the polar water. Although water pipes do filter out a lot of heavy dense ash debris, the majority of micro-carcinogens and smoke dust particles still manage to make it through to the users lungs. I was thinking of all of these flaws that came to mind regarding just plain old water diffusion through percs. I was extremely baked last night and was thinking of a better way to filter/diffuse the harmful components of smoke from cannabinoids. ![]()
