We have developed an electrostatic precipitation (ESP) type air cleaner for indoor air quality and investigated its performances regarding CADR (Clean air delivery rate), single-pass efficiency and gas removal efficiency. The ESP air cleaner used an ACF (Activated carbon fiber) filter for gas removal and the ACF as a high voltage electrode for particle removal. The ESP air cleaner was tested in a chamber with the volume of $1m^3$ regarding CADR and gas removal efficiency. The applied CADR area of the ESP was $1.8m^2$. Gas removal efficiency was tested with 3 gases (Acetaldehyde, Acetic acid, Ammonia). As the results of the gas removal efficiency, the ESP air cleaner shows the removal efficiencies of 90, 98 and 85% for acetaldehyde, acetic acid and ammonia, respectively.

The electrochemical properties of electric double layer capacitor(EDLC) was studied by controlling pore size distribution and specific surface area of the activated carbon fiber(ACF). The mesoporous ACF, which was prepared by the iron exchange method, showed the tendency of increasing average pore size and decreasing total surface area. The mesoporous ACF (surface area = 2225 $m^2$/g, pore size=1.93 nm) showed increased mesopore(pore size=1~3nm) volume from 0.055 cc/g to 0.408 cc/g compared to its raw ACF. The charging capacity of the EDLC which uses the prepared mesoporous ACF also increased from 0.39 F/$cm^2$ to 0.55 F/$cm^2$. From these results, it can be known that the electrochemical properties of EDLC are mainly dependent on the specific surface area, but above the surface area 2200 $m^2$/g, it is the mesopore volume that affects the performance of the capacitor considerably. Because the increased mesopore volume results in a decreased ion mobility resistance, the charge capacitance is enhanced.

The removal efficiencies of silver-ACFs were associated with their surface properties such as surface area, porosity, and the electro-chemical reaction time for the silver treatments. X-ray diffraction patterns of fibers electrochemically treated with silver display diffraction peaks for metallic silver and kinds of silver chloride complexes on the fiber surface after electrochemical adsorption. The results of SEM and EDX indicate that surface reaction motive of silver-ACF prepared by electrochemical reaction are depend on time function for the chloride ion removal efficiency. Finally, Cl ion adsorbed by the silver-ACFs from the ICP analysis seems to show an excellent removal effect.

This dissertation aims to develop adsorption tubes for measuring organic solvents in the working environment, by comparing and analyzing breakthrough condition and adsorption capacity with ACF. 1. In breakthrough characteristics, the raising velocity of breakthrough curve is increasing according to assault concentration, but $50\%$ breakthrough time is decreasing. As breakthrough curve of calculated data using this agrees with the one of experimental data both of them can be used on determining sampling time of adsorption tubes. It is predicted by theoretical that $10\%$ breakthrough time is increasing in the case of increasing filled adsorbent amount. 2. $10\%$ breakthrough time is regularly decreasing as much as assault concentration is increasing. As a result, we can predict the life of adsorbent within the range of the low concentration, and adsorption amount that ACF can sample during $10\%$ breakthrough time is increasing as much as assault concentration is increasing.

Methylene blue (MB) was degraded by $TiO_2$ and ZnO deposited on an activated carbon fiber (ACF) surface under UV light. The ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, and EDX. The BET surface area was related to the adsorption capacity for composites. The SEM results showed that titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are distributed on the ACF surface. The XRD results showed that the ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites contained a unique anatase structure for $TiO_2$ and a typical hexagonal phase for ZnO respectively. These EDX spectra showed the presence of peaks of Ti element on ACF/$TiO_2$ composite and peaks of Zn element on the ACF/ZnO composite. The blank experiments for either illuminating the MB solution or the suspension containing ACF/$TiO_2$ or ACF/ZnO in the dark showed that both illumination and the catalyst were necessary for the mineralization of organic dye. Additionally, the ACF/$TiO_2$ composites proved to be efficient photocatalysts due to degradation of MB at higher reaction rates. The addition of an oxidant $([NH_4]_2S_2O_8)$ led to an increase of the degradation rate of MB for ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites.

The adsorption isotherms can be assigned to typical Type I for Ag and Cu-treated ACFs and Type I and Type II for Ni-treated ACFs. From the DSC analysis, A $g_{0.9}$-ACF occurs only exothermic curve at the temperature of $203^{\circ}C$, and relatively stable composition curves were formed. But C $u_{0.3}$-ACF and C $u_{0.4}$-ACF occur endothermic curves at the temperature of 57.26, 107.02 and $215.87^{\circ}C$. N $i_{1.0}$-ACF occurs large endothermic curves at 59.26, 98.40 and $208.89^{\circ}C$ and N $i_{0.8}$-ACF are shown endothermic curves at 59.26 and $157.77^{\circ}C$. From the biological results, the percentages of the antibacterial effects were 96.5-100 for Ag-ACFs, 92.3-99.8 for Cu-ACFs and 95.5-100 for Ni-ACFs, respectivelylyvelylyly

본 연구에서는 휘발성 유기화합물 중 산업공정에서 사용빈도가 가장 높은 방향족류의 toluene, 케톤류의 MEK, 알코올류의 IPA에 의한 삼성분계 휘발성 유기화합물의 탄소계 흡착제에 대한 흡착특성 실험을 수행하였다. 입상 활성탄, 활성탄소섬유를 이용한 단일흡착제와 입상 활성탄과 활성탄소섬유를 동시에 적용한 조합흡착제를 사용하여 흡착성능과 흡착량을 비교 분석하였다. 실험용 흡착장치를 사용하여 단일성분 및 삼성분계 휘발성 유기화합물에 대한 흡착파과 실험을 수행하였으며, 각 경우에 대해 흡착량과 흡착성능을 비교하였다. 입상 활성탄은 toluene의 단일흡착 시 높은 흡착성능을 보였으나, IPA, MEK의 단일성분과 삼성분계 흡착실험에서는 상대적으로 낮은 성능을 보였다. 활성탄소섬유와 조합흡착제는 단일성분 흡착결과에서 모두 우수한 흡착성능을 보였으나, 삼성분계 흡착의 경우에는 흡착제의 경제성과 흡착효율을 고려하였을 때 입상 활성탄과 활성탄소섬유를 동시에 적용한 조합흡착제가 흡착제로서 가장 적합함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, impregnated activated carbon fiber (IACF) was manufactured to pitch-based activated carbon fibers (ACF) with potassium hydroxide (KOH) by using wet impregnation method to raise nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) adsorptivity. The properties of IACF were observed using EPMA, TGA and DSC and $NO_x$ adsorptivity was observed at high and low temperature. Before and after adsorption was analyzed using ToF-SIMS for examine surface characterization of adsorbed $NO_x$. The results showed that the better adsorptivity appeared for increasing KOH ratio. So, $NO_x$ adsorptivity showed result that is proportional between KOH and the adsorbed amount. On the other hand, adsorbent that manufactured without washing was better $NO_x$ adsorptivity than adsorbent that manufactured with washing. The behavior of adsorption show that crossing time of NO and $NO_2$ delayed for a rising adsorptivity. And NO ratio increased but $NO_2$ ratio decreased according as KOH ratio increases. $NO_x$ was confirmed through surface analysis that remain in $NO_2^-$ and $NO_3^-$ form on IACF surface.
