Efficient elimination of environmental pollutants through sorption-reduction and photocatalytic degradation using nanomaterials (2020, background): “Pan and Xing [30] reviewed CNTs as adsorbents for the sorption of organic chemicals, and summarized that the π-π interactions, hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds were the main mechanisms for the uptake of organic pollutants.”
Adsorptive removal of antibiotics from water and wastewater: Progress and challenges. (2015, background): “Adsorption mechanism will be better understood by investigating the effects of properties of both CNTs and antibiotics along with the environmental conditions such as solution pH, temperature and matrix (Pan and Xing, 2008).”
Adsorption of sulfamethoxazole and 17β-estradiol by carbon nanotubes/CoFe2O4 composites (2015, background): “This suggests that, in addition to hydrophobic interactions, p–p electron donor– acceptor interactions may play a role in the adsorption of SMX and E2 [45,46].”
Applications of nanomaterials in water treatment and environmental remediation (2014, background): “In comparison with activated carbon, when CNTs are functionalized with hydrophilic –OH, –COOH and Lcysteine groups, they can adsorb higher amounts of low molecular weight and polar compounds [45].”
