Firstly,the webs were stabilized under different pre-oxidation conditions; secondly,the pre-oxidative fibers were chemically activated by high temperature treatment in nitrogen. Pre-oxidation temperature,heating rate,and treatment time are the main factors on affecting the adsorption performance of the ACFs. Scanning electron microscope ( SEM) , differential scanning calorimeter ( DSC ) ,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR ) were used to characterize the structure and property of the pre-oxidative fibers,and the dynamic benzene adsorption capacity of benzene of ACFs was measured.
