MATERIAL FOR CAPTURING CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE-CAPTURING TUBE

摘要

A material for capturing a chemical substance comprising fibers which carries metal alkoxide particles on the surface thereof. The metal alkoxide particles comprises an oligosilica, an oligozirconia, an oligotitania or the like. The fibers may include inorganic fibers, regenerated fibers and synthetic fibers. The material for capturing a chemical substance is produced by a method comprising a step of subjecting the fibers to a surface treatment for making the surface of the fibers capable of easily receiving the adhesion of the metal alkoxide particles, a step of forming the metal alkoxide particles on the surface of the fibers and a step of rendering the metal alkoxide particles to adhere to the surface of the fibers. A chemical substance-capturing tube capable of capturing a trace of a chemical substance in a liquid or a gas can be produced by placing the fibers i.e. a material for capturing a chemical substance in a hollow tube.
