Evaluation of Degradation and Adsorption of Activated Carbon Fiber Cloth Loaded with Titanium Dioxide

Abstract

This study combines active carbon fiber cloth (ACFC) with the photocatalyst of titanium dioxide (TiO₂). The proposed method mainly depends on the adsorption effect to effectively catch the adsorbent and then further decompose the surface of the photocatalyst so that the original adsorption site of the active carbon can be emptied. In this way, the absorption site can regain the capability of catching the adsorbent and prevent saturation of the ACFC, hence, extending the service life. The findings of this study show that TiO₂/ACFC possesses good photocatalytic adsorption capability. The same results are observed after several rounds of testing.
