Development of Adsorbent Hollow Fibres for Environmental Applications by Chin-Chih Tai, Yun-Hsin Wang

“…By applying this novel technique, fibres with unique adsorbent properties and a high surface area per unit volume ratio can be prepared with a range of adsorbents to target a range of pollutants. The proposed method is not just limited to HiSiv 3000; in principle, many adsorbents or catalysts may be used, which means that this method can pave the way for a new generation of energy-efficient low-pressure-drop adsorbent fibres with low mass transfer resistance.…”
