Activated carbon fiber is a high-tech product made of carbon fiber. It is a microporous carbon fiber. As early as the 1970s, it began to develop rapidly and was used to purify the environment, absorb toxic substances, and recycle organic compounds. Some people confuse activated carbon and activated carbon fiber. They are different substances.
The adsorption capacity of activated carbon fiber is greater than that of activated carbon. For example, for thiol with bad odor, the adsorption capacity is 40 times different. Some substances that are difficult to absorb, such as trace pollutants with a concentration below 10ppm, also have great adsorption capacity.
Fast adsorption speed. If activated carbon and carbon fiber are made into adsorption layers of the same thickness, gaseous benzene blows the adsorption layer at the same speed. If the outlet concentration reaches 10ppm as the penetration layer, it only takes a few minutes for the activated carbon adsorption layer to penetrate, but the activated carbon fiber adsorption layer can be used for a long time.
Fast adsorption speed. For some gaseous substances, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon fiber can reach 800%, while that of activated carbon can only reach 100%
Another feature of activated carbon fiber is that it has strong plasticity and can be processed into various shapes, which is convenient to use.
Activated carbon fiber is made by high-temperature activation of asphalt-based carbon fiber, phenolic-based carbon fiber, etc. The surface of the manufactured carbon fiber will have pores and the surface area will increase. As people's environmental awareness continues to increase, their attention to the living environment is also increasing. Activated carbon fiber is very popular because of its excellent performance in purifying the environment.
