Chemical Vapor Deposition of Organic Compounds over Active Carbon Fiber To Control Its Porosity and Surface Function... 

CVD by organic compounds pyrolysis over active carbon fiber. 

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of some organic compounds was examined to control the porosity and surface function of active carbon fiber (ACF). In this system, the deposition takes place only on the pore wall of the ACF, when the precursor organic compound and deposition temperature around 700 C were selected carefully. The surface of the ACF was modified by carbon derived from heterocyclic compounds (pyridine, pyrrole, furan and thiophene) through CVD. The moderately activated ACF modified by pyridine, pyrrole and thiophene showed molecular sieving activity, that modified by furan did not. Only fiiran was decomposed at this temperature. Thermal stability is a key factor to get molecular sieving performance after CVD. Pyridine produced amorphous carbon within the pore, which appears to maintain the pyridine ring structure, creates basic sites over the surface of the ACF. Thus catalytic oxidation of SOx over ACF of high surface area was accelerated.
