Abstract
Reactivity of 20 ppm NO2 in air was studied at 30°C over pitch based activated carbon fiber (ACF, OG20A) and polyacrilonitrile based ACF (FE300) by varying the calcinations temperature of ACF and relative humidity in the reaction gas to find the continuous removal of NO2 in atmosphere in the form of HNO3. The calcination of ACF at ≤ 800°-1100°C in inert atmosphere increased significantly adsorption and oxidation of NO2 as observed for continuous removal of SO2 into H2SO4 over some ACF. NO2 in dry air was disproponionated into NO and adsorbed NO3 over as-received and calcined ACF. NO2 was oxidized and disproportionated into NO3 to be absorbed over the ACF, the latter reaction producing also NO. Oxygen in air enhanced the oxidation of NO2 into adsorbed NO3, reducing NO formation through the disproportionation. Higher humidity increased the stationary NO2 removal to regenerate the active site.
