Mesoporous Activated Carbon Fibers from Lignocelullosic Materials: Adsorption Studies

High surface area and highly mesoporous activated carbon fibers (ACF) were obtained by physical activation of natural precursors (vetiver roots and bagasse) with steam and chemical activation using phosphoric acid. The textural characteristics of the activated were determined by nitrogen adsorption study and mercury porosimetry and showed that interesting porosity were obtained (SBET up to 1600...

Hydrogen Adsorption on Activated Carbon

The adsorption of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes and activated carbons has generated considerable interest in relation to hydrogen storage for fuel cells applications[1-3]. However, the widespread use of hydrogen as a fuel is limited by the lack of a convenient and cost-effective method of hydrogen storage. Adsorption of supercritical hydrogen is limited by the low interaction energy between hydr...

Enhanced CO2 Adsorption on Activated Carbon Fibers Grafted with Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes

In this paper, multiscale composites formed by grafting N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNs) on the surface of polyamide (PAN)-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were investigated and their adsorption performance for CO₂ was determined. The spaghetti-like and randomly oriented CNs were homogeneously grown onto ACFs. The pre-immersion of cobalt(II) ions for ACFs made the CNs grow above with a large ...

Effect of Relative Humidity on Adsorption Breakthrough of CO2 on Activated Carbon Fibers

Microporous activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were developed for CO₂ capture based on potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation and tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) amination. The material properties of the modified ACFs were characterized using several techniques. The adsorption breakthrough curves of CO₂ were measured and the effect of relative humidity in the carrier gas was determined. The KOH activat...
