In this study, activated carbon fabric was prepared from a cellulose-based polymer (viscose rayon) via a combination of physical and chemical activation (mixed activation) processes by means of $CO_2$ as a gasifying agent and surface and adsorption properties were evaluated. Experiments were performed to investigate the consequence of activation temperature (750, 800, 850 and $925^\circ}C$), activation time (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes) and $CO_2$ flow rate (100, 200, 300 and 400 mL/min) on the surface and adsorption properties of ACF. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K was measured and used for the determination of surface area, total pore volume, micropore volume, mesopore volume and pore size distribution using BET, t-plot, DR, BJH and DFT methods, respectively. It was observed that BET surface area and TPV increase with rising activation temperature and time due to the formation of new pores and the alteration of micropores into mesopores. It was also found that activation temperature dominantly affects the surface properties of ACF. The adsorption of iodine and $CCl_4$ onto ACF was investigated and both were found to correlate with surface area.
在这项研究中,通过$CO_2$作为气化剂,采用物理和化学活化(混合活化)工艺,以纤维素聚合物(粘胶人造丝)为原料制备了活性炭织物,并评估了其表面和吸附性能。实验研究了活化温度(750、800、850和$925^\circ}C$)、活化时间(15、30、45和60分钟)和$CO_2$流速(100、200、300和400 mL/min)对活性炭织物表面和吸附性能的影响。测量了77 K下的氮气吸附等温线,并分别采用BET、t-plot、DR、BJH和DFT方法测定表面积、总孔体积、微孔体积、中孔体积和孔径分布。结果表明,由于新孔的形成和微孔向中孔的转变,BET表面积和TPV随着活化温度和时间的升高而增加。还发现活化温度主要影响活性炭织物的表面性质。研究了碘和$CCl_4$在活性炭织物上的吸附情况,发现两者都与表面积有关。
