Abstract

Waste polyvinyl chloride (PVC) contains high content of chlorine, which is believed to liberate dioxine at its combustion. Efficient removal of chlorine from PVC achieved by selecting the heat-treatment conditions provided free-chlorine PVC based pitch by a two-stage heat-treatment process. The obtained pitch (softening point: 218 °C) was spun, stabilized, carbonized and activated to prepare activated carbon fibers (ACF) whose DeSOx activity was tested preliminarily and found comparable to other ACF.
