Activated Carbon Fabric from Pitch
Abstract
A project was undertaken to determine whether pitch-based carbon cloth could be made into an active cloth suitable for clothing protective against hazardous chemical environments. The experiments involved activating pitch-based cloth by standard methods in steam and CO2 in a laboratory reactor. Cloth with sorptivities exceeding 50% CCl4 by weight, surface areas exceeding 800 sq m/gm, and breaking strengths exceeding 5 kg per 25 mm wide strip were produced. Conditions were optimized to produce cloth of the highest area sorptivities for NARADCOM evaluation.
