“…Compared with other studies, the CH 3 COOH adsorption capacity with activated carbon obtained by Bi et al and Park et al was around 132 and 89.67 mg/g, respectively. For H 2 S adsorption, Mochizuki et al reported that adsorption capacity of H 2 S was about 95 mg/g using petroleum coke activated carbon.…”

Excessive exposure to hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and acetic acid (CH 3 COOH) gases is extremely dangerous in a confined space. An effective indoor air pollutant removal porous carbon filter was developed using NaOH impregnated on activated carbon (NaOH/AC) for the adsorption of H 2 S and CH 3 COOH. Activated carbon (NaOH/AC) filter was characterized using various methods, indicating good physical and chemical properties (especially -OH functional groups) for the adsorption of air pollutants. The prepared NaOH/AC filter was cured at different curing temperatures and residence times to understand the effect of the curing conditions on the adsorption performance. The best results were obtained with NaOH/AC filter cured at 100 • C for 20 minutes as it eliminated the initial concentration of 400 ppm of CH 3 COOH in 15 minutes and H 2 S in 30 minutes at 20 • C and 60% relative humidity. Isotherm and kinetic models were used to analyze the adsorption process. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic models provided the best fit to the adsorption of CH 3 COOH and H 2 S on NaOH/AC filter. The adsorption mechanism was controlled by the intraparticle diffusion combined with film diffusion. The maximum adsorption capacity of NaOH/AC filter was 473 mg/g for H 2 S adsorption, and 550 mg/g for CH 3 COOH adsorption. In addition, the spent NaOH/AC filter was regenerated for reuse.This study is expected to develop low-cost and effective porous carbon filter using NaOH-modified activated carbon for indoor air purification.
