Silver-containing pitch-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared by activation with steam. Silver particles acted as catalyst by accelerating activation rate and increasing micropore size. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the surface morphology and behavior of sil

โฆ Synopsis
Recently lakes, swamps and suburban rivers of cities have become growingly polluted according to various kinds of waste water drainage. For domestic and industrial waters much call has been made on advanced water treatment techniques to where more adsorption operation is employed by granular and powdered activated carbon for removal of organic substances, color, odor, etc.
We already succeeded in a promising result from two experiments at Kashiwai Water Works of Chiba Prefecture and Murano of Osaka Prefecture using a pitch-based activated carbon fiber (ACF). This paper deals with the further development that the pitch-based ACF has been reformed and the development of higher performance ACF ventured on.
REFORMING ACF
With a view to commercialization of ACF by improving removal performance of dissolved organic substances and trihalomethane formation, experiments on conventional pitch-based ACF were carried out by enlarging pore size based on this ACF.

Although pitch-based carbon fibers can be melt spun, the flow characteristics of mesophase pitch make it extremely difficult to process. Mesophase pitch, like many fluids, can be non-Newtonian, but its viscosity is considerably more temperature sensitive than most melt-spun materials. In the present
Oxidation behaviour of a variety of carbon fibers made from isotropic as well as mesophase pitch has been studied. The microstructure of these carbon fibers has been studied using SEM Optical Microscope. and x-ray diffractometer. After graphitization, the carbon fibers made from isotropic pitch did
