Adsorption of mercury ions from synthetic and real wastewater aqueous solution by functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube with both amino and thiolated groups (2014, positive): “Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were the first observed CNTs involving of up to several tens of graphite shells [11].”
Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) for Water and Wastewater Treatment: Preparation to Application (2021, background): “Oxidation of raw CNTs with HNO3, H2SO4, HCl, H2O2, KMnO4, and NaOCl, or sometimes a combination of some of these (Figure 5), has often been exercised to introduce oxidized functional groups [146,147].”
Adsorptive remediation of environmental pollutants using novel graphene-based nanomaterials (2013, background): “Among them, carbonaceous-based adsorbents including activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene usually show high adsorption capacity and thermal stability [13–16].”
Carbon-based nanomaterials for removal of chemical and biological contaminants from water: A review of mechanisms and applications (2015, background): “A common point in all of these studies is that these nanomaterials exhibit significantly higher adsorption capacity than any other conventional adsorbents in similar experimental conditions [99].”
Adsorption of sulfamethoxazole and 17β-estradiol by carbon nanotubes/CoFe2O4 composites (2015, background): “In addition, owing to their large surface area, excellent stability, and rich surface functionalities, CNTs have been considered as extremely superior adsorbents [3–6].”
Impact of humic/fulvic acid on the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions using nanomaterials: a review. (2014, background): “However, most current research is focused on the adsorption of single solute by CNTs in aqueous solution and ignores the potential interactions between mixtures of metal ions and organic substances that may affect adsorption (Chen et al., 2008; Ren et al., 2011; Li et al., 2013b, 2013c).”
Pseudo-second-order kinetic equations for modeling adsorption systems for removal of lead ions using multi-walled carbon nanotube (2013, background): “The known ability of CNTs to establish electrostatic interactions and their large surface areas can facilitate the adsorption of many kinds of pollutants from water, such as aniline, phenol, and their substitutes and sodium chloride, as well as several divalent metal ions [9-11].”
