A Review of Applied Research on the Adsorption and Degradation of Wastewater Pollutants Based on Modified Activated Carbon Fibers
The rapid growth of industrial activities has given rise to an ocean amount of wastewater,comprising a complex mixture of organic and inorganic pollutants,which poses a severe threat to ecological equilibrium and the vitality of living organisms.In light of this challenge,the utilization of modified activated carbon fibers(ACF)emerges as a promising avenue for addressing those issues considering its high surface area,strong adsorption capability,and good mechanical properties.The modification techniques for ACF were first introduced and then the research progress in the application of modified ACF in wastewater treatment was presented,focusing on two key aspects:the adsorption and degradation of organic pollutants and the adsorption of inorganic heavy metal ions.Finally,on the basis of the above discussions,an outlook on the future development of modified ACF in wastewater treatment was also given.
