Performance of Electrospun Nanofibres on Adsorbing Gaseous Aromatic Compounds

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to research the performance of the electrospun polystyrene-acrylic resin composite nanofibre on the adsorption of gaseous aromatic compounds, such as benzene and chlorobenzene. The equilibrium adsorption amount of benzene was 254.3 μg mg^-1, while the equilibrium adsorption amount of chlorobenzene was 2.5 μg mg^-1. The dynamic adsorption of the two compounds onto the composite nanofibres was also studied. Comparing with the conventional adsorbent (Tenax-TA), the performace of this nanofibre was well as that of Tenax-TA. The results of comparison confirm that electrospun nanofibres can be a potential adsorbent for the sampling of gaseous aromatic compounds.
