Adsorption of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and p-xylene by NaOCl-oxidized carbon nanotubes (2010, background): “These anomaterials have been proven to possess good potential as nvironmental sensors [6,7] or superior adsorbents for removing any kinds of organic pollutants such as dioxin [8] and volatile rganic compounds [9,10] fromair streams or 1,2-dichlorobenzene 11–13], trihalomethanes [14,15], dyes [16–18]”
Nanotechnology and Water Treatment: Applications and Emerging Opportunities (2008, background): “Based on a report by Long and Yang (2001), indicating that significantly higher dioxin removal efficiency is found with CNTs than with activated carbon, MWCNTs have subsequently been used successfully as the sorbent for the preconcentration and separation of chlorophenols (Cai et al. 2005) and…”
Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Carbon Nanotubes (2014, background): “This is due to the high surface area that helps strong interaction between CNTs and dioxins (24).”
Study on the removal of heavy metal ions from industry waste by carbon nanotubes: Effect of the surface modification: a review (2016, background): “The negative values of DG0 as suggested by Long and Yang (2001) reveals that the adsorption of Cu2C by both as-produced and modified CNTs was spontaneous.”
