• Production and applications of activated carbons as adsorbents from olive stones (2019, background): “In recent years, some novel adsorbents such as carbon nanotubes or related structures are also being tested in adsorption applications [88, 89].”
• Ultralight carbon aerogel from nanocellulose as a highly selective oil absorption material (2015, methodology): “It has been reported that graphene aerogel, carbon nanotube aerogel, carbon fiber aerogel, and carbon microbelts aerogel are capable of separating water and oil (Gui et al. 2011; Hu et al. 2013; Li et al. 2010, 2014; Upadhyayula et al. 2009; Wu et al. 2013).”
• Enhancing oil removal from water using ferric oxide nanoparticles doped carbon nanotubes adsorbents (2016, methodology): “On the other hand, CNT sponge [14][17] has an order of magnitude higher adsorption capacity when used for cleanup of oil spill from the surface of water but it was not tested for separation of oil from oil-water emulsion.”
