Characterization of gas phase adsorption capacity of untreated and chemically treated activated carbon cloths

Granular activated carbon (GAC) and powdered activated carbon (PAC) have long been used to effectively treat drinking water, waste water, and industrial gas streams. Undesired contaminants are removed by adsorption onto activated carbon. While activated carbon has been used extensively in industrial applications, little research has been performed to evaluate using activated carbon to remove low concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from indoor air environments. In this research, activated carbon cloth (ACC) is examined for its equilibrium adsorption capacity for several VOCs of relevance to indoor air quality.
