Sisal xylem fibre-based activated carbon fibres for fuel adsorption: effect of thermal stabilization of diammonium phosphate.

ABSTRACT: Activated carbon fibres (ACFs) are considered as the next generation of activated carbon products. However, lack of structural diversity in pore structure and high prices of raw materials for ACFs has restrained the development of ACF materials. In this paper, a sisal-based activated carbon fibre (SACF) material was prepared from sisal wastes with a unique thermal stabilization treatment to maintain fibrous shapes of SACFs while dispersing in solutions, and the SACFs were prepared as raw fibre materials for fuel evaporation emissions controlling products. Experimental results of N₂ adsorption showed that SACF has a typical I-type adsorption isotherm, with specific surface area of SACF samples of approximately 1200 m² g^-1, and mainly microporous pore structu
