In this study, the activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on which copper metal was deposited by electroplating were used to remove nitric oxide (NO). N(2)/77 K adsorption isotherm characteristics, including the specific surface area and micropore volume, were investigated by BET and T-plot methods. NO removal efficiency was confirmed by gas chromatographic technique. From the experimental results, the copper content supported on ACFs led to an increase in the NO conversion, in spite of the decrease of the specific surface area or the micropore volume of ACFs. Consequently, the presence of Cu on ACFs played an important role in improving the NO reduction into O(2) and N(2), which was mainly attributed to the catalytic reactions of Cz-NO-Cu.
