We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of confinement effects on freezing and melting We consider both simple and more complex adsorbates that are confined in various environments (slit or cylindrical pores and also disordered porous materials) The most commonly used molecular simulation, theoretical and experimental methods are first presented We also provide a brief description of the most widely used porous materials The current state of knowledge on the effects of confinement on structure and freezing temperature, and the appearance of new surface-driven and confinement-driven phases are then discussed We also address how confinement affects the glass transition

Effects of confinement on freezing and melting.

Behaviour of activated carbons with different pore size distributions and surface oxygen groups for benzene and toluene adsorption at low concentrations

Removal of volatile organic compound by activated carbon fiber

With the improvement of standard of living, air-conditioning has widely been applied. However, health problems associated with air-conditioning systems and indoor air quality appear more frequently. In this paper, recent research is reviewed on air-conditioning systems and indoor air quality control for human health. The problems in the existing research are summarized. A further study is suggested on air-conditioning systems and indoor air quality control for healthy indoor air environment.

Preparation and properties of phenolic resin-based activated carbon spheres with controlled pore size distribution

Adsorption of trace polar methy-ethyl-ketone and non-polar benzene vapors on viscose rayon-based activated carbon fibers

Preparation of activated carbon microspheres from phenolic-resin by supercritical water activation

Pore Structure and Fractal Characteristics of Activated Carbon Fibers Characterized by Using HRTEM

The adsorption characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on viscose rayon-based activated carbon fibres (ACFs) were investigated. ACFs with specific surface areas of 640 m2/g and 1460 m2/g were used to adsorb trace volatile organic compounds in nitrogen streams at atmospheric pressure at or near room temperature (25oC and 30oC). The experimental results showed that ACFs with different surface areas exhibited different dynamic adsorption behaviours at or near room temperature.
