An object is to provide an adsorbent using activated carbon fiber, the adsorbent being suitable for motor vehicle canisters and enabling reduction in pressure loss. An activated carbon fiber sheet for a motor vehicle canister fulfils the following conditions (1) to (4). (1) The sheet has a specific surface area ranging from 1100 to 2300 m/g. (2) The sheet has a density ranging from 0.010 to 0.200 g/cmor less. (3) The sheet has a thickness ranging from 0.1 to 100.00 mm. (4) The sheet has a fiber size of 13.0 μm or larger.

Activated carbon fiber sheet for motor vehicle canister

A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a new form of adsorbent suitable for a motor vehicle canister. An activated carbon fiber sheet satisfies one or two or more of conditions for indices, such as a specific surface area, a pore volume of pores having a given pore diameter, and a sheet density. An embodiment, for example, may have: a specific surface area ranging from 1400 to 2300 m/g; a pore volume ranging from 0.20 to 0.70 cm/g for pores having pore diameters of more than 0.7 nm and 2.0 nm or less; an abundance ratio R, which is a ratio of a pore volume of micropores having pore diameters of 0.7 nm or less occupied in a pore volume of micropores having pore diameters of 2.0 nm or less, ranging from 5% to less than 25%, and a sheet density ranging from 0.030 to 0.200 g/cm.

An object is to provide a new form of adsorbent suitable for a high performance canister. An adsorbent including activated carbon is used as the adsorbent for the canister and satisfies the following conditions. Pexpressed by Equation 1:×100  (Equation 1)is 18% or more, in Equation 1, X represents an amount of adsorbed n-butane gas per 100 parts by weight of the adsorbent at 25° C. under an atmosphere where a gas pressure of n-butane gas is 0.2 kPa, and Y represents an amount of adsorbed n-butane gas per 100 parts by weight of the adsorbent at 25° C. under an atmosphere where a gas pressure of n-butane gas is 100 kPa.
