| ABSTRACT |
Eco-Activated Carbon fiber sheets (Eco-ACFS) manufactured from blending sugarcane bagasse cellulose fiber with powder coconut shell activated carbon. It absorbs more effectively than any granular form of activated charcoal due to its micro-porous character and higher internal surface area as compared to the granular form .This product offer several technological advantages in comparison with the traditional forms of this widely used porous material. These advantages include faster adsorption kinetics, higher efficiency, and larger capacity for adsorption due to their higher surface area and pore volume. Besides, micropores of the powder activated carbon are directly connected to the external surface area, inducing a decrease in the mass transfer resistance that leads to lower pressure drops in flow units. Furthermore, Eco-ACFS are essentially microporous materials which are relevant for the adsorption of VOCs in low concentrations in ambient air environments. For this reason, Eco-ACFS is used in a wide range of air purification systems from fume hoods, gas masks, refrigerators and air purifiers for indoor. Where indoor air quality is being compromised by odours, Eco-ACFS is the safest and most effective way of dealing with the problem.
