Method for manufacturing a solid adsorbent fiber

A method of manufacturing supported solid adsorbent fibers, comprising the steps of:

• drawing a solid support fiber or multi-filament solid support fiber from a freely rotating spool or mechanically rotated spool;
• dip-coating a solid fiber support with a polymeric dope by plunging the solid support fiber or multi-filament solid support fiber into a coating bath, thereby providing a polymeric dope-coated solid fiber support, the coating bath containing the polymeric dope, the polymeric dope comprising adsorbent particles and a polymeric binder dissolved in a solvent;
• and
• spraying the dip-coated solid fiber support with a coagulant liquid bar traversing the polymeric dope-coated solid fiber support through a sprayer such that the dissolved polymeric binder coated on the solid fiber support as part of the polymeric dope is solidified, thereby producing said solid adsorbent fibers.
