The Gas Removal Effect of Bamboo Charcoal/Nylon 6 Blended Fibers

Abstract

Bamboo charcoal was activated by carbon dioxide and was blended with Nylon 6 to spin into fiber. The gas removal effect was performed by evaluating the reduction rate for acetic acid gas of charcoal and charcoal contained fiber. The result indicated that the charcoal activated by carbon dioxide could reach the highest specific surface area up to 1405.6 m²/g. The reduction rate was 99% when 1 g charcoal placed in 5 L sampling bag. The reduction rate of Nylon 6 fiber containing 1.0 wt% charcoal was among 64% to 67%; the pure Nylon 6 fiber had a lowest reduction rate of 33%.
