The present study concerns metal electrodeposition onto activated carbon fibre cloths (ACFC) for the treatment of odorous molecules such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Characterizations of virgin, chemical impregnated and electroimpregnated carbon fibre cloths allowed the determination of the physical and chemical properties of such materials. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms in a batch reactor were carried out with non-impregnated and copper- or iron-impregnated ACFC. It was observed that differences in the metal deposit directly influenced the porous structure and elimination kinetics and capacities towards both odorous molecules. Compared to non-impregnated material, the adsorption velocities decrease in the case of chemically impregnated materials whereas they were similar when electrodeposition was used. Moreover, the maximal adsorption capacities were highest when metal was electrochemically deposited.
