초록

활성탄소섬유(Activated Carbon Fiber : ACF)들은 사용된 원료물질과 활성화조건에 따라 서로 다른 활성화 거동과 흡착 특성을 나타낸다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 PAN과 핏치계 활성탄소섬유를 두 가지 활성화 기체(CO₂, 증기)의 공급속도와 활성화 온도에 따라 활성탄소섬유를 제조하였다. 핏치계 활성탄소섬유들은 대부분이 미세공으로 구성되어 높은 비표면적(2,500m²/g이상)을 나타내었다. 활성제로서 증기가 반응성이 이산화탄소보다 약 3배 빨랐으며 핏치계 탄소섬유가 활성제에 대한 반응성이 더 컸다. 증기와 이산화탄소에 의한 평균세공지름의 범위는 약 15-l9Å과 12-l4Å이며, 이것은 이산화탄소에 의해 활성화된 활성탄소섬유가 더 작고 균일한 미세공특성을 나타냄을 의미한다. 우수한 활성탄소섬유를 제조하기 위한 활성화 최적 조건은 원료물질로 핏치계 탄소섬유를, 온도는 낮을수록(800℃), 활성제로는 이산화탄소를, 이산화탄소의 공급속도는 적절한 영역(38 ml/hr)임을 알 수 있었다.

Activated carbon fibers(ACF) show different activation behaviors and adsorptive properties, which depend on the activating conditions and starting materials used. So, PAN- and pitch-based activated carbon fibers were prepared by flow rates of varying the activating agents(CO₂, and steam) and temperatures in activation process. The pitch-based activated carbon fibers were microporous materials of high specific surface areas(>2,500 m²/g). The reactivity in steam as activating agent was about three times faster than in CO₂, the reactivity of pitch-based carbon fibers as starting materials was higher than PAN-based carbon fibers. The ranges of average pore diameter for steam and CO₂ were about 15-17Å and 11-13Å, respectively. It implies that smaller and more uniform micropores are developed in CO₂. Optimum conditions of the activation process for preparing high quality ACF are pitch based carbon fiber as starting material, lower temperature(800℃), CO₂ as activating agent, flow rate of 38 ml/hr.
