Activated Carbon Fiber

Activated carbon fiber is usually in the form of mats, cloths, sheets or yarns, and it has remarkable advantages.

Extremely high specific surface area

Its specific surface area reaches 1000-3000 m²/g, so it has a large adsorption capacity.

Evenly distributed micropores and small diameters

Its diameters are mostly 1-2 nm, which results in fast adsorption speed. So the adsorption efficiency for small molecule substances is much higher than that of traditional activated carbon.

Good chemical stability

It can resistant to acids and alkalis, and maintain stable performance within a wide temperature range, generally -100°C to 300°C.

Easy to regenerate

Its adsorption capacity can be restored through heating, water washing, etc., which can be reused.

Good flexibility

This makes it easy to be processed into various shapes. According to your specific requirements, it will be processed to meet your specification standards.

In addition, you can also choose viscose-based activated carbon fibers, polyacrylonitrile-based activated carbon fibers, phenolic-based activated carbon fibers or other types of activated carbon fibers.

Excellent electrical conductivity

It has good adsorption capabilities for heavy metal ions, which can be used in scenarios requiring electrical conductivity.

Uses of Activated carbon fiber

Environmental purification field

Air purification

It can adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, and TVOC in the air, which can effectively improving air quality. So you can use it in indoor air purifiers, car air conditioning filters, industrial waste gas treatment equipment, etc.

Water treatment

It can efficiently remove organic substances, heavy metal ions, odors, and pigments from water. So you can apply it in drinking water purification, industrial wastewater treatment, and sewage treatment scenarios.

Protection field

As the core filter material for gas masks and protective suits, it can quickly adsorb toxic gases, vapors and particles. Therefore, it can protect personnel’s safety in hazardous environments such as those in the chemical and military industries.

Energy sector

Because of its porous structure and conductivity, you can use it as electrode materials for for supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries. It can Increase the storage capacity of the battery and improve its charging and discharging efficiency.

Medical field

You can use it in blood purification devices to adsorb toxins in the blood. Besides, it can can adsorb harmful substances exuded from wounds and promote healing, which can be also made into antibacterial wound dressings.

Industrial sector

Solvent recovery

In chemical production, it can recover organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol, achieving the recycling and reuse of resources.

Catalyst support

Using it as the support for catalysts, its porous structure is utilized to enhance the efficiency of catalytic reactions.
