Fabrics comprised of porous fibres could provide effective passive protection against chemical and biological (CB) threats whilst maintaining high air permeability (breathability). Here, we fabricate hierarchically porous fibres consisting of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and activated-carbon (AC) prepared through two fibre spinning techniques in combination with ice-templating—namely cryogenic solution blow spinning (Cryo-SBS) and cryogenic wet-spinning (Cryo-WS). The Cryo-WS RSF fibres had exceptionally small macropores (as low as 0.1 µm) and high specific surface areas (SSAs) of up to 79 m2·g−1. The incorporation of AC could further increase the SSA to 210 m2·g−1 (25 wt.% loading) whilst also increasing adsorption capacity for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Carbon-silica composites with nanoporous structures were synthesized for the adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), taking tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the silicon source and activated carbon powder as the carbon source. The preparation conditions were as follows: the pH of the reaction system was 5.5, the hydrophobic modification time was 50 h, and the dosage of activated carbon was 2 wt%. Infrared spectrum analysis showed that the activated carbon was dispersed in the pores of aerogel to form the carbon-silica composites material. The static adsorption experiments, dynamic adsorption-desorption experiments, and regeneration experiments show that the prepared carbon-silica composites have microporous and mesoporous structures, the adsorption capacity for n-hexane is better than that of conventional hydrophobic silica gel, and the desorption performance is better than that of activated carbon. It still has a high retention rate of adsorption capacity after multiple adsorption-desorption cycles. The prepared carbon-silica composites material has good industrial application prospects in oil vapor recovery, providing a new alternative for solving organic waste gas pollution.

Abstract Three types of odour abatement systems in sewer networks in Australia were studied for 18 months to determine the removals of different compounds. Six volatile sulfurous compounds and seven volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were further investigated. All types of odour abatement systems exhibited good removal of hydrogen sulfide with the biotrickling filters (BTFs) showing the highest consistent removal. Biofilters outperformed BTFs and activated carbon (AC) filters in the removal of dimethyl mono-, di- and tri-sulfide species at the low inlet concentrations typically found. AC filters exhibited little VOC removal with no compound consistently identified as having a removal greater than 0%. Biofilters outperformed BTFs in VOC removal, yet both had high removal variability.
