Design of Advanced Fibrous Based Material Systems to Meet the Critical Challenges in Water Quality and Carbon Dioxide Mitigation

Abstract

dc:description

Aminated polyacrylonitrile activated carbon fibers (N-ACF) coated on a non-woven fiberglass mat, displayed the ability to remove NOM more efficiently than granulated activated carbon or ion exchange beads at concentrations below 50 mg/L. Electrostatic attraction was found to be the dominant mechanism of NOM adsorption for the N-ACF.
