Activated carbon has conventionally been most widely used as an adsorbent and is extremely useful industrially, for example, in various industries in powder or granular form for deodorization, decolorization, and removal of harmful substances.

On the other hand, carbon fiber, which is a type of carbon material, is used as a light and strong reinforcing material in the manufacture of various reinforced plastic moldings, but activated carbon fiber, which is made by activating this carbon fiber, also has sufficient adsorption capacity. Despite its availability, it is not widely used as an adsorbent. Especially in the fields of gas processing and water treatment, very few are used. The reason for this is that it is difficult to mold it according to various specifications for specific applications, and it is difficult to handle it.

By the way, when using normal activated carbon, when using powdered activated carbon, the operation of extracting and separating the activated carbon is complicated, and the pressure loss is large.In addition, when using granular activated carbon, the pressure loss can be reduced by increasing the particle size to a certain extent. However, there are problems such as a decrease in the adsorption area and a decrease in the adsorption rate. However, unlike powdered or granular adsorbents, activated carbon fibers have many advantages, such as easy separation from the gas or liquid to be treated, a large surface area, and a high adsorption rate. . However, ordinary carbon fibers are often commercially available in shapes such as felt, thread, and cloth.
Therefore, when activated and used as an adsorbent,
As mentioned above, it is necessary to cut or shape it depending on the shape and size of the adsorption tower.
At that time, there are problems such as the shape being distorted and fiber pieces easily flowing out of the system, making it extremely difficult to use.

In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide an activated carbon fiber molded article as an adsorbent that has a high adsorption rate, can be used by simply filling it in an adsorption tower in its original shape, and is extremely easy to handle. The purpose is to

That is, in the present invention, the length of multiple fibers is 0.5 to 50 mm.
The present invention relates to an adsorbent comprising activated carbon fibers entangled in a lump having a maximum diameter of 3 to 100 mm, and a method for producing the same.

以下に本発明について詳細に説明する。 The present invention will be explained in detail below.

The activated carbon fibers constituting the adsorbent of the present invention include acrylic, vinylon, rayon, pitch, and lignin fibers.
Graphitized at 800~2500℃ or 150~
Preferably, it is flame resistant or carbonized at about 800°C.

活性炭素繊維の繊維長としては、塊状に成形す

50mmにすることが必要である。
The fiber length of activated carbon fiber should be 0.5 to 0.5 to ensure ease of entanglement between each fiber when molded into a lump.
It is necessary to make it 50mm.

At this time, if the fiber length of the activated carbon fibers is less than 0.5 mm, there will be no entanglement of the activated carbon fibers,
When filling an adsorption tower or performing gas or water treatment, activated carbon fibers will scatter, and if the fiber length of activated carbon fibers exceeds 50 mm, they will not form into lumps but strings. In this string form, it is no different from the activated carbon fiber itself, and when it is packed into an adsorption tower, it is inevitable that the activated carbon fiber will be bent, cut into small pieces, or turned into powder. , the adsorption performance such as adsorption speed will be inferior.

In addition, the thickness of activated carbon fiber is 5 in diameter.
A diameter of about 100 microns is suitable from the viewpoint of adsorption performance and formability of lumps.

The fiber mass is most preferably in the form of a sphere, an ellipsoid, or a disc with a maximum diameter of 3 to 100 mm from the viewpoint of ease of handling during the adsorption treatment operation.

The adsorbent of the present invention can be easily manufactured by the following method. In other words, activated carbon fibers in the form of short fibers with a fiber length of 0.5 to 50 mm are dispersed in a liquid such as water, and while the temperature of the liquid is maintained at a predetermined temperature in the range of 10 to 90°C, a water stream is created by blowing into a gas or the like. Continue stirring by stirring or mechanical stirring using a blade. Over time, the activated carbon short fibers become entangled with each other, producing a block-like molded product with a maximum diameter of 3 to 100 mm. This lump of activated carbon fiber is taken out and used as an adsorbent.

When molding into a lump, if activated activated carbon fibers are used, the molded lump can be used as an adsorbent as is, but if unactivated carbon fiber is molded, it may be activated after molding. Activation may be carried out by appropriately selecting a conventional activation method such as a chemical activation method or a gas activation method. Note that reactivation of adsorption activity after adsorption treatment can be carried out in exactly the same manner.
