摘要

Despite carbon fibre’s potential for lightweighting, the materials high cost and environmental impact may limit its broader adoption. The need to incinerate emissions during production adds to both the environmental impact and cost, and detailed data on these emissions is scarce due to the confidentiality of commercial manufacture. This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the gases emitted during carbon fibre production using a state-of-the-art research facility and Fourier transform infrared gas analysis. By converting a polyacrylonitrile precursor into carbon fibres, this work identifies and quantifies key exhaust gases (HCN, NH3, CO, and CH4) and correlates them with changes in the fibres’ elemental composition, revealing the underlying chemical mechanisms.
