Abstract

To enhance the surface functionalities of activated carbon fi ber (ACF), the impregnation and high-temperature calcination

methods were utilized to eff ectively load magnesium oxide on ACF. Dynamic adsorption tests were carried out to examine

the impact of diff erent doping amounts and calcination temperatures with respect to the adsorption performance of MgO/

ACF on toluene, and it was characterized by SEM, XRD, N 2 ad-desorption isotherms and FT-IR technique. When Mg/ACF

mass ratio was 3% and a calcination temperature of 550 °C, the Mg 0.03 /ACF-550 composite material revealed the optimum

adsorption capacity of toluene was 230.8 mg/g, which was 31% higher than the original ACF, and it could be regenerated

and permitting reuse for multiple cycles. Its adsorption process of toluene occurred via a combination of surface adsorption

and pore-fi lling mechanisms.
