Activated carbon fibre monoliths (ACFMs) were prepared from the rejects of polymeric fibres (Nomex(TM)). These were carbonised, agglomerated with a phenolic resin and steam activated at burnoff degrees between 0 and 40%. Adsorption experiments with n-butane at 30 degreesC show that, at high adsorbate concentrations, the amount adsorbed is a function of pore volume, but at low concentrations this mainly depends on pore size distribution. The porosity of Nomex-based ACFMs is formed by narrow micropores, which permit higher amounts of vapour to be adsorbed in low concentrations compared to monoliths prepared from different commercial activated fibres and a commercial granular activated carbon, which exhibits wider pores. The agglomeration of Nomex-fibres to form ACFMs does not cause any loss in adsorption properties with respect to non-agglomerated activated fibres. From the adsorption experiments of different vapours on a Nomex-based ACFM (40% burnoff) it was found that at high concentrations (p/p(o) = 1) the adsorbed volume was independent of the nature of the adsorbate and depended only on pore volume. However, at low vapor concentrations (p/p(o) = 0.004), the amount adsorbed depended on the adsorbate being well correlated to the molecular parachor and the polarizability of the adsorbates (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
