1 wt% Ag, Cu and Co-containing Activated Carbon Fibers(ACFs) were prepared and the adsorption abilities of each ACFs for phenol from aqueous solution were investigated. 1`he average pore diameter of Ag and Co-containing were 20Å, while Co-containing ACF have shown two mesopore regions of 30-40Å and 200-300Å with micropores. Iodine adsorption capacity of Ag-containing ACF is much better then that of other ACFs. The Co-containing ACF with mesopores is more efficient than other adsorbents for the adsorption of polymer such as methyleneblue. The adsorption rate of metal-containing ACFs for phenol is 18-180 times faster than that of Activated Carbon(AC). The adsorption amount of phenol on Cu-ACF at breakpoint was 1.8 times larger than that of non metal-containing ACF.
