HIGH FUNCTIONAL VISCOSE RAYON TYPE ACTIVATED CARBON FIBER AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

PURPOSE: Provided are high functional viscose rayon type activated carbon fiber which has micro pore distributed well, is large air pore on a surface, has excellent adsorptivity because of having high specific surface, and is useful for an atmospheric clarifier for air conditioning of a building, an atmospheric clarifier for underground, an atmospheric clarifier for removing industrial hazardous gas, a clarifier for treating water, a separation system and a recovering system of organic solvent, a deodorizing article, catalyst, carrier of catalyst, a bio-reactor, an air filter for a car and an oil filter, and a manufacturing method thereof. CONSTITUTION: The high functional viscose rayon type activated carbon fiber is characterized by having at least 1800 of specific surface, 1-20Å of micro pore in size and 30-100Å of meso pore in size. The activated carbon fiber is obtained by a process containing the steps of: as the first step, infiltrating viscose rayon type fiber or a fiber structure thereof into an aqueous solution containing phosphorus compound and nitrogenous compound, followed by drying; phosphorylating under the condition of nitrogen at 200-400deg.C of reacting temperature; as the second step, infiltrating the viscose rayon type fiber or the fiber structure formed phosphate into an aqueous solution of metallic chloride, followed by drying; carbonizing under a condition of nitrogen at 700-1000deg.C of reacting temperature; and then, as the third step, injecting water vapor into the carbon fiber or the carbonized structure at 700-900deg.C to activate.
