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].”
Synergistic and competitive adsorption of organic dyes on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (2012, background): “For carbon materials, five possible interactions including hydrophobic effect, p–p bonds, hydrogen bonds, and covalent and electrostatic interactions have been observed and believed to be responsible for the adsorption of organic chemicals on the surface of carbon nanosized particles [26].”
A comparative study on the basis of adsorption capacity between CNTs and activated carbon as adsorbents for removal of noxious synthetic dyes: a review (2015, background): “CNTs strongly adsorb many of these polar organic compounds due to the diverse contaminant–CNT interactions including hydrophobic effect, p–p interactions, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, and electrostatic interactions [74].”
Applications of nanotechnology in water and wastewater treatment. (2013, neutral): “CNTs strongly adsorbmany of these polar organic compounds due to the diverse contaminanteCNT interactions including hydrophobic effect, pep interactions, hydrogen bonding, covalent bonding, and electrostatic interactions (Yang and Xing, 2010).”
