This study aims to find a correlation between XRD and Raman result of the activated carbon fibers as a function of its activation degrees. La of the isotropic carbon fiber prepared by oxidation in carbon dioxide gas have been observed using laser Raman spectroscopy. The basic structural parameters of the fibers were evaluated by XRD as well, and compared with Raman result. The La of the carbon fibers were measured to be 25.5 ${\AA}$ from Raman analysis and 23.6 ${\AA}$ from XRD analysis. La of the ACFs were 23.6 ${\AA}$ and 20.4 ${\AA}$, respectively, representing less ordered through activation process. It seems that the $I_D/I_G$ of Raman spectra were related to crystallite size(La). Raman spectroscopy has demonstrated its unique ability to detect structural changes during the activation of the fibers. There was good correlation between the La value obtained from Raman and XRD.

혼합가스로부터 $CO_2$를 분리, 회수하기 위하여 활성탄소섬유를 흡착제로 사용한 전기변동흡착(electric swing adsorption, ESA) 공정의 타당성을 검토하였다. 활성탄소 섬유는 상압에서도 $CO_2$에 대해 빠른 흡착 속도를 보였으며, 비교적 짧은 흡착대와 긴 파과시간, 흡착제의 단위무게당 높은 흡착량을 나타내었다. 포화흡착된 흡착탑의 재생에서 비표면적이 큰 활성탄소섬유일수록 일정한 모양의 파과곡선을 유지하여 흡착-탈착의 재생사이클에 유리하였다. 진공탈착에 의한 흡착탑의 재생률은 64 cmHg의 압력에서도 64％ 이상이었고, 전기탈착을 병행한 hybrid 재생단계에서는 17％의 추가적인 재생률을 보이며 7-8 Wh의 낮은 재생에너지에서도 높은 재생률을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 PAN계 안정화섬유를 원료로 하여 수증기를 이용한 물리적 활성화에 의해 여러 등급의 활성탄소섬유를 제조하고, 비표면적, 요오드 흡착량, 미세구조, 세공구조 등을 측정하여 제조조건에 따른 그 특성변화를 고찰하였다. 수증기를 이용한 물리적 활성화에서 기존의 탄화과정과 활성화과정의 2단계를 이용한 공정과, 탄화공정과 활성화 공정을 동시에 수행하는 1단계 활성화과정을 비교함으로써 저가로 활성탄소섬유를 제조할 수 있는 제조방법을 연구하였다. 2단계 법에서는 안정화 섬유를 $900^{\circ}C$에서 탄화한 후 이를 다시 $900^{\circ}C$에서 활성화하는 방법으로 $1019m^2/g$의 비표면적을 갖는 활성탄소섬유를 얻었으나 1단계 방법에서는 $900^{\circ}C$에서 $1636m^2/g$의 비표면적을 갖는 활성탄소섬유를 제조하였다. 이들 활성탄소섬유 사이에는 비표면적, 요오드 흡착력, 기공분포 등이 서로 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, Brunauer-Deming-Deming-Teller(BDDT)에 의한 분류에서는 제I형을 나타내는 공통점도 가지고 있었다.

Antibacterial behaviors of PAN-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) containing silver metal were investigated. The effects of surface and pore structures of the ACFs were studied by $N_2$/77 K adsorption and D-R plot as a function of silver loading content. The antibacterial activities were investigated by a dilution test against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus; gram positive) and Klebsiella pnemoniae (K. pnumoniae; gram negative). As experimental results, the ACFs showed some decreases in specific surface areas, micropore volumes, and total pore volume with an increase of silver content. However, the antibacterial activities of the ACFs were strongly increased against S. aureus as well as K. pnumoniae, which could be attributed to the presence of antibacterial metal in the ACFs system.

In this work, the effect of anodic oxidation treatment on Cr(VI) ion adsorption behaviors of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) was investigated. The aqueous solutions of 10 wt% $H_3PO_4$ and $NH_4OH$ were used for acidic and basic electrolytes, respectively. Surface characteristics and textural properties of ACFs were determined by XPS and $N_2$ adsorption at 77 K. The heavy metal adsorption of ACFs was conducted by ICP. As a result, the adsorption amount of the anodized ACFs was improved in order of B-ACFs > A-ACFs > pristine-ACFs. In case of the anodized treated ACFs, the specific surface area was decreased due to the pore blocking or pore destroying by acidic electrolyte. However, the anodic oxidation led to an increase of the Cr(VI) adsorption, which can be attributed to an increase of oxygen-containing functional groups, such as, carboxylic, lactonic, and phenolic groups. It was clearly found that the Cr(VI) adsorption was largely influenced by the surface functional groups, in spite of the reduced specific surface area of the ACFs.

Activated carbon fiber could be prepared at 973 K by catalytic activation using potassium hydroxide. Phenol resin fiber (Kynol) was impregnated with potassium hydroxide ethanol solution, carbonized and activated at 973 K, resulting in activated carbon fibers with different porosities. The potassium hydroxide accelerated the activation of the fiber catalytically to form narrow micropore preferentially in carbon dioxide atmosphere. The narrow micropore volume of 0.3~0.4 cc/g, total pore volume of 0.3~0.8 cc/g, mean pore width of 0.5~0.7 nm was obtained in the range of 20~50% burnoff.

본 연구에서는 Cu 촉매가 도입된 활성탄소섬유를 제조하여 고효율 $SO_2$ 흡착재를 제조하였다. 라이오셀 섬유를 내염화 및 탄화공정을 통해 탄소섬유를 얻었으며, $SO_2$ 흡착능을 향상시키기 위해 KOH 활성화를 사용하여 높은 비표면적 및 균일한 미세기공구조를 부여하였다. 활성탄소섬유에 Cu 촉매를 도입하기 위하여 $Cu(NO_3)_2{\cdot}3H_2O$ 수용액을 사용하였으며, 공정 시 i) 탄소섬유 내 산소 관능기의 분해반응을 촉진하고, ii) 산화구리 및 질산염의 분해로 oxygen radical이 생성되어 탄소섬유의 활성화 반응을 촉진시켰다. 이로 인해 활성탄소섬유의 미세공과 중기공 형성효과 및 탄소섬유 표면에 고르게 분산된 Cu 촉매를 확인하였다. Cu 촉매 도입 후, 활성탄소섬유에 비해 비표면적 및 미세공의 비율이 약 10% 이상 증가되었고, $SO_2$ 흡착능이 149% 이상 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. Cu 촉매도입공정 시, 전이금속 촉매효과에 의하여 발달된 미세공, 중기공 및 비표면적에 의한 물리적 흡착과 도입된 Cu 촉매에 의한 $SO_2$ 가스의 화학적 흡착반응의 시너지 효과에 기인하여 $SO_2$ 흡착능이 향상된 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, $TiO_2$-Activated carbon (AC) complex fibers were prepared by electrospinning for the synergetic effect of adsorption and degradation of organic pollutant. The average diameter of these fibers increased with increasing the amount of AC added, except for 1AC-TOF (AC$/TiO_2$ =1/40 mass ratio). After calcinations at $500^{\circ}C$, long as-spun fibers were broken and their average diameter was slightly decreased. The resultant fibers after calcination had rough surface and sphere shapes like a peanut. From XRD results, it was confirmed that as-spun fibers were changed to anatase $Ti_O2$ fiber after calcinations at $500^{\circ}C$. The prepared $TiO_2$-AC complex fibers could remove procian blue dyes by solar light irradiation with high removal property of 94~99%. The PB dye was rapidly removed by adsorption during the initial 5 minutes. But after 5 minutes, dye removal was occurred by photodegradation. In this study, the most efficient AC/$TiO_2$ ratio of $TiO_2$-AC complex fibers was 5/40, showing the synergetic effect of adsorption and photodegradation. It is expected that the $TiO_2$-AC complex fibers can be used to remove of organic pollutants in water system.

An adsorption process to recover the pure $CH_4\;and\;CO_2$ from its mixture was examined. In this study, activated carbon fibers were used as a selective adsorbent. The activated carbon fibers has 78~94% micropore volume and 10.5~20.3${\AA}$ narrow pore size, and showed high adsorption rate and the good selectivity for $CO_2$ under the ambient pressure. The ACF with high surface area showed short mass transfer zone and long breakthrough time and, its adsorption capacity depended on the microporosity. Compared with single component adsorption, the amount adsorbed $CO_2$ on ACF increased by the roll-up of $CH_4$ in mixed gases. The adsorption selectivity increased as now rate and $CO_2$ concentration of mixed gases increased, showing 5.2 selectivity for 75% $CO_2$ concentration.
