Abstract
Fiber-based activated carbons were prepared from phenolic and rayon fibers through physical activation methods. The raw materials were activated using steam and CO2, and the resultant activated carbons were characterized for pore distribution, textural properties and heavy metals removal. Two commercial activated carbon fibers, namely Fe400 and A10 were also employed for comparison. Activated carbon fiber with a higher specific surface area of 2938 m2/g was prepared from phenolic fiber by steam activation at 900 °C for 1 h. The material is microporous with pores concentrated at supermicropore region. The activated carbon fiber also demonstrates a greater removal of copper(II) and lead(II) at 50% and 75%, respectively, tied-up with its textural properties.
