Two oxidized carbon fibers (o-CF and o-CF-400) with microporous structure and surface area as high as ~ 1500-1130 m2/g were prepared from commercial carbon fiber felt to be used as good carbon adsorbents for removing highly toxic organic pollutant. The obtained oxidized CF samples were characterized by SEM, N2 adsorption isotherms at -196oC as well as Boehm's titration and FTIR techniques. Removal...
