Ammonia Diffusion through Nalophan Double Bags: Effect of Concentration Gradient Reduction

Table 1

Experimental data relevant to NH3 diffusion over time in Nalophan bags: the inner double bags (DBin 6000–2580) have = 6000 cm3 and = 2580 cm2, the outer double bags (DBout 6000–5280) have = 6000 cm3 and = 5280 cm2, and the single bag is with = 6000 cm3 and = 2580 cm2.
