Activated carbon (AC) and activated fibers (ACFs) are materials with a large specific surface area excellent physical adsorption properties due to their rich porous structure, they used as electrode improve the performance of adsorbents or capacitors. Recently, multiple studies have confirmed applicability AC/polymer compo-sites in various fields by exploiting unique chemical AC. As mechanical ...

Ozone modification method and air-oxidation were used for the surface treatment of polyacrylonitrile(PAN)-based carbon fiber. The surface characteristics of carbon fibers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interfacial properties of carbon fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (CF/PA6) composites were investigated by means of the single fiber pull-out tests. As a result...

Introduction: Volatile organic compounds are the most common pollutants in the air, and among them, toluene is the most common form, which is toxic resulting in liver and kidneys damages. Regarding the fact that this compound is widely used in various chemical industries, implementing an efficient method for controlling its concentration is of great importance. The comparative survey of the cap...

introduction: the powdered activated carbon treatment (pact) has been proposed as an alternative in wastewater treatment and wastewater biomass protection against toxic substances. this study aims to evaluate pact performance in treating dyes, acid orange, and remazol brilliant reactive blue. methods: this empirical- applied research was carried out in pilot scale in which different dye removal...

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared by steam activation of windmill palm (WP) (Trachycarpus fortunei) fibers in a nitrogen atmosphere at various temperatures in the 600 to 850 °C range, and their characteristics were investigated. The effects of temperature, in terms of porous texture and surface chemistry, were identified through the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen...

Activated carbon fiber composites show gnat promise as fixed-bed catalytic reactors for use in environmental applications such as flue gas clean-up and ground water decontamination. A novel manufacturing process produces low density composites h m chopped carbon fibers and binders. These composites have high permeability, can be activated to have high surface area, and have many potential envir...

Approximately 10-20% of the total dyes in the world is consumed in the textile industry. The present study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) immobilized on synthetic activated carbon in the removal of the acid blue 113 dye from aqueous solutions. This experimental study was conducted in a photo-reactor with the useful volume of one liter. The eff...

the removal of organic precursors of disinfection by-products (dbps), i.e. natural organic matter (nom), prior to disinfection is considered as the most effective approach to minimise the formation of dbps. trihalomethanes (thms) as the main group of dbps are categorized and considered to have the potentiality of increasing the rate of liver, kidney and cns adverse effects. this study which pre...
