Abstract
Carbon-based adsorbents exhibit strong adsorption capabilities for low-concentration SO2, and thus exhibit high-efficiency removal performance of SO2 from exhaust gas. This study aims to further improve the SO2 adsorption capacity of pitch-based activated carbon fiber (ACF) through controlled oxidation. Pristine ACF (PACF) and Fe-impregnated ACF (FeACF) were oxidized using low-concentration oxygen gas (2 % O2 in N2). The results showed that the oxidation of ACFs using low concentration O2 increased the contents of oxygen-containing surface functional groups, and the oxidation of ACFs followed by heat treatment increased the specific surface area and widened the pore size. The adsorption capacity of PACF was 150.8 mL/g-ACF. Oxidization of FeACF at 450 °C for 1 hour and heat treatment at 1100 °C increased the SO2 removal capacity, reaching 491.0 mL/g-ACF.
