| Abstract: | "In this study, a new type of molecular sieve/polyacrylonitrile fiber (M-PAN) was prepared by electrospinning to adsorb atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The suitable content of molecular sieve in nanocomposites was also determined for achieving maximum VOCs adsorption capacity. SEM, TEM and N(2) adsorption/desorption analyzer were performed for characterization of the surface morphology, structural properties, surface area and pore size. A part of molecular sieve is exposed on the fiber surface where VOCs can be adsorbed efficiently in a short time. Acetone was used as a challenge pollutant to evaluate the adsorption of VOCs at different recycling times and types of electrospinning nanofibers. The adsorption capacity of 6M-PAN (60% weight of molecular sieve) nanofiber reached 58.2 mug g(-1) and the reused nanofibers nearly had the same adsorption capacity as the newly prepared nanofibers after several times of recirculation" |
