Porous Carbon Fiber-Carbon Binder Composites

Post combustion CO2 capture by carbon fibre monolithic adsorbents

“…Nevertheless, this was able to only partially alleviate the problem. As mentioned above, another type of activation method has been found to be promising for uniform activation, which involves low temperature O 2 chemisorption coupled with subsequent heat treatment [129,150,151]. This technique originally came from Nandi and Walker [150] and Quinn and Holland [151].…”

“…Phenolic resin (insoluble in water and alkaline solutions), which is in a powdered form, is a thermosetting resin consisting of Novalac powder and w8 wt% of hexamethylenetetramine. The carbon yield after pyrolysis is about 50% [129].…”

“…Instead of activation using CO 2 or moisture saturated He, a two cycle chemisorption/activation procedure using O 2 has been previously attempted to obtain a uniform activation through the entire crosssection of the material and to achieve greater micropores [129,150,151].…”
