| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this work is to develop a process for the preparation of porous activated carbon fiber (ACF) with uniform pore size using petroleum-pitch-based carbon fiber as a precursor. It became clear that the narrow diameter (ca.16 mu m) of the raw material carbon fibers is one of the main factors preventing the application of existing carbon activation techniques to the production of activated carbon. In concrete, we were able to show that in order to freely control and design the pore structure uniformly whilst meeting the antagonistic requirements of both increasing the surface area and maintaining a high yield, it is necessary to : (1) select an activation gas that has an oxidizing ability which can be controlled with ease (carbon dioxide) ; (2) reduce the oxygen content of the activation gas to less than approx. 1 ppm ; (3) maintain a uniform temperature distribution in the furnace during activation treatment.
The relationship between the specific surface area and the yield of porous activated carbon fiber was studied over a wide range of treatment time at predetermined temperatures (850,900,950 ﾟC). As a result, we were able to prepare a series of activated carbon samples with molecular sieving function differing from each other only in their pore size and were able to evaluate the pore structures and adsorption properties thus :
1) ACF with a high surface area (2800 m^2/g) and a yield of 42% was obtained.
2) Capacity and rate of gas phase adsorption of hydrocarbons (methane, ethylene, n-butane, iso-butane etc.) were measured and the character of the pore structures was investigated.
3) Adsorption capacity and adsorption rate of chloroform and humic acid in aqueous phase were determined.
