Abstract

Porous carbon materials are advantageous in adsorbing pollutants due to their wide range of specific surface areas, pore diameter, and pore volume. Among the porous carbon materials, in the current study, expanded graphite, xGnP, xGnP C-300, xGnP C-500 and xGnP C-750 were prepared as adsorbent materials. BET analysis was conducted to select the adsorbent material through the analysis of the specific surface area, pore size, and pore volume of the prepared porous carbon materials. Morphological analysis using SEM was also performed. The xGnP C-500 as adsorbent material was applied to a mortar adhesive (MA). The toluene adsorption performances of the specimens were evaluated using 20L small chamber. Furthermore, the performance of the mortar adhesive, as indicated by the shear bond strength, the length change rate, and the water retention rate, was analyzed according to the required test method specified in the Korean standards.
