Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a molded adsorbent capable of excellent gas permeability and water permeability and of high quality by using 100 parts of activated carbon fiber and one part or more to five parts or less of heat-melting synthetic resin 1 with a softening point of 100 deg.C or lower and joining at random maintaining the activated carbon fiber in a joined condition with the heat- melting synthetic resin. CONSTITUTION:A slurry of uniform quality consisting of 100 parts of activated carbon fiber and one part or more to five parts or less of heat-melting synthetic resin with a softening point of 100 deg.C is dehydrated into a given form. Then this form is heated so that the activated carbon fiber is joined at random and maintained in a joined condition with the heat-melting synthetic resin to manufacture a molded adsorbent of paper structure. This molded adsorbent of paper structure is a material of such a structure that the activated carbon fiber forming an adsorbent is arranged at random and finely like a thick Japanese paper. The heat-melting synthetic resin is such as polyvinylidene chloride, or polyvinyl alcohol, especially polyvinyl alcohol as a recommended resin. The recommended heat-melting synthetic resin is such as filiform as it seldom clogs the pores of the activated carbon fiber.

As a result, there were drawbacks such as a decrease in the specific surface area of the shaped adsorbent and a decrease in the content of activated carbon fiber in the molded article.

The heat-melting synthetic resin for bonding and integrating the activated carbon fibers has a softening point of less than 100°C, more preferably 50 to 8°C.
Use one with a temperature of about 0°C. When using a thermofusible synthetic resin with a softening point of 100°C or higher, water evaporates before the thermofusible synthetic resin melts when the wet molded product dries, so a large amount of the thermofusible synthetic resin is used. If this is not used, it will not be possible to produce shaped adsorbents. Examples of such heat-melting synthetic resins include vinylidene chloride and polyvinyl alcohol, with polyvinyl alcohol being particularly preferred. As the heat-melting synthetic resin, it is more preferable to use a filamentous one because it less likely blocks the pores of the activated carbon fibers.

(about 4.5 parts, more preferably about 2 to 3 parts). If the amount of heat-melting synthetic resin is too small, the strength of the molded adsorbent will be low, while if it is too large, the pores of the activated carbon fibers will be blocked and the porosity will decrease. .
