Isotropic pitch-based carbon fiber was isothermally activated in $CO_2$ atmosphere. Structural parameters of the isotropic carbon fibers and activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The $d_{002}$ and La of the carbon fibers were measured to be 4.04 ${\AA}$ and 23.6 ${\AA}$ and those of ACFs were 4.29 ${\AA}$ and 22.7 ${\AA}$, respectively, representing less ordered through activation process. The pores in the ACFs were characterized by BET, and they showed super-high specific surface area of maximum value 3,495 $m^2/g$ from average pore size of 8.3 ${\AA}$ at 59% burn-off. It was recognized that 8-9 ${\AA}$ was optimum range of pore size for efficient creation of high specific surface area. The average size of the pores formed at higher temperature ($1100^{\circ}C$) was larger than that of the pores formed at lower temperature ($900^{\circ}C$).

Adsorption of toluene by activated carbon fiber (ACF) coated with dielectric heating element and desorption by applying microwave were investigated. In order to prepare adsorbent so that VOC can be desorbed by microwave heating, fine dielectric heating element with nano size was coated on the surface of the ACF using hybrid binder. Eight adsorbents (ACF-DHE, Activated Carbon Fiber coated with Dielectric Heating Element) were prepared with different amount of dielectric heating element, kinds of hybrid binder, and solvent. In order to investigate adsorption characteristics, BET surface area, pore volume, and average pore size were measured for each adsorbent including ACF. Breakthrough experiments with toluene concentration, flow rate, bed length using fixed bed reactor were performed to investigate adsorbality of adsorbent, and results were compared with that of the ACF. Desorption reactor was constructed with modified microwave oven to investigate heating effect on ACF-DHE by applying microwave power. Each adsorbent saturated with toluene were put into desorption reactor. Composition of desorbed gas generated by applying controlled microwave power to reactor was measured. Up to now, hot air desorption method has been used. Experimental results showed that desorption method with new adsorbent prepared by coating dielectric heating element on ACF can be used for industrial application.

금속이 처리된 활성탄소섬유에 대한 물리 화학적 흡착특성과 항균효과에 대한 연구를 하였다. Cu가 처리된 활성탄소섬유에 관한 물리 흡착 연구에 의한 등온곡선으로부터 BET비표면적 값은 $688.2-887.8m^2/g$의 범위에 분포하였다. 또한 흡착 등온곡선으로부터 t-방법을 도입하여 미세 동공 부피 값과 동공의 평균 크기를 얻었다. SEM 연구로부터 활성탄소섬유의 많은 미세 동공들이 처리된 금속에 의하여 가리움 현상을 일으키는 것으로 나타났다. Escherichia coli에 대한 항균효과를 알아보기 위한 결과로부터 Cu의 양을 증가시켜 처리함에 따라 항균 활성 면적이 증가함을 하였다. 이들 결과로부터 금속이 처리된 활성탄소섬유에 대한 항균 메카니즘을 제시하였다.

The adsorption of nitrogen (77K) and carbon dioxide(273K) was performed on a series of activated carbon fiber. Theadsorption iotherm of nitrogen was typical type 1 and that of carbon dioxide was convex. As the specific surface area increases, there are linear increases in BET constant C mean pore diameter, the width of pore size distribution, wide micropore volume, total micropore volume, total pore volume and external surface area, however, narrow micropore volume was nealy constant . The total micorpore volume fraction in total pore volume is above 97%.

Cabon fiber of general purpose was prepared from coal tar pitch modified with 10% benzoquinine(BQ) at 380C for 3 hours. Such a modified pitch raised the softening of the pitch from 85C to 271C at the yield of 40%. The modified pitch was spun smoothly at a rate of 480m/min into a fiber of 20um diameter. The fiber was stabilized stepwise at 236C (5C/min) and 312C (1C/min) for 3 hours each. Both carbonized and graphitized fibers exhibited tensile strength of 570MPa which appears large enough as a precursor for active carbon fiber. The activated carbon fiber prepared exhibited relatively high surface area of 2062m2/g at 76% burn-off and rather narrow distribution pore size of 20A.

기존 흡착제들보다 우수한 흡착성능을 확보하고, 특히 특정한 용제에 대한 흡착성능을 극대화하기 위하여 $1,100m^2/g$의 비표면적을 갖는 활성탄소섬유를 기본흡착제로 적용하였고, 여기에 활성금속을 첨착시켜 흡착성능과 선택성을 제고하고자 하였다. 활성금속은 screening 연구를 수행하여 최종적으로 Cu, Cr을 선정하였으며, 활성금속첨착 활성탄소섬유의 제조변수는 제조온도, 제조시간, 활성금속의 종류이었다. 물성측정 및 흡착반응실험을 통하여 금속을 $100^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 첨착하였을 경우 acetone gas 흡착성능이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 기존 활성탄소섬유보다 2배 이상의 높은 흡착성능을 확인하였다. 한편, 활성금속첨착 활성탄소섬유의 확산 및 흡착에 필요한 최소 접촉시간은 최소한 0.5초 이상은 유지해야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Henequen fiber was air-stabilized, carbonized, and steam-activated to obtain high surface area activated henequen fiber (AHF). Thermal behavior of henequen fibers has been studied by TGA. The structural morphology and characteristics were observed by SEM and BET surface area measurement. The yield of AHF from natural henequen was in the range of 20~25 wt%. Mesopores (2~2.5 nm) were developed on the AHF as the activation temperature was raised up to $700^{\circ}C$, and the band of mesopore size distribution moved to 15~30 nm when the activation were carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The specific surface area and the total pore volume were about $1394\;m^2/g$ and $1.30\;cm^3/g$, respectively at this activation conditions.

This paper reports that the installation of a carbon fiber ionizer in front of an activated carbon fiber(ACF) filter enhanced the antibacterial efficiency. In addition, the effect of the ionizer on the filtration of bioaerosols is reported. Negative air ions from the ionizer were used as antibacterial agent. The test bacteria(Escherichia coli) were aerosolized using an atomizer and were deposited on the ACF filter media for 10 minutes. E. coli deposited on the filter were exposed to negative air ions for 0, 1, 5 and 10 minutes. Then they were separated from the ACF filter by shaking incubation with nutrient broth for 4 hours. The separated E. coli were spread on nutrient agar plates and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1~3 days. The antibacterial efficiency of E. coli was measured using a colony counting method. The antibacterial efficiencies of E. coli exposed to negative air ions for 1, 5 and 10 minutes were 14%, 48% and 71%, respectively. The filtration efficiency was evaluated by measuring the number concentration of bioaerosols at the upstream and downstream of the filter media. The increase of filtration efficiency by air ions was 14%, that is similar to the 17% filtration efficiency by none air ions. The ozone concentration was below the detection limit (under 0.01ppm) when the carbon fiber ionizers were on.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the removal effect and variation of contaminated water by various water treatment processes using sediment filter, activated carbon, photocatalysis, reverse osmosis, ultra violet sterilizer and ultra filtration. The removal effect of chloride and trace metal was low by activated carbon and ultra filter but high in reverse osmosis. The removal effect of bacteria and E. coli was low by activated carbon and membrane filter system using activated carbon but high in impregnated activated carbon. The removal effect of TCE was low in sand and ultra filter system as compared with activated carbon. Ultra filtration process was effective for purify agricultural water without E.coli. Reverse osmosis was effective to remove heavy metal and activated carbon was effective to remove halogenated organic chemical compound. The flux and the removal effect of COD in spiral wound ultrafilter were higher than the hollow fiber ultrafilter.

활성탄소 (activated carbons, ACs)는 넓은 비표면적을 가지고 있어 흡착용량이 크며, 발달된 미세공을 가지고 있기 때문에 오염물질의 제거능력이 높을 뿐만 아니라 경제적, 환경 친화적인 측면에서도 유리하다. 특히 섬유화된 할성탄소섬유 (activated carbon fibers, ACFs)는 균일한 세공이 표면에 노출되어 있어 흡착속도가 빠르며, 안정성과 재생성이 좋고 섬유상이기 때문에 가공이 용이하며 직포, 부직포, 시트 등의 형태로 만들어져 용매회수, 공업제품의 정제, 오폐수의 처리시설, 소각시설의 유해 배기가스의 흡착등에 널리 사용되고 있다.[1,2] (중략)
