Background: Clean and clear water is an essential element in our life. Finding new and innovative approaches to purify water is a critical topic in research and development. Carbon nanotubes are promising adsorbent for many stable organic compounds. The ability of wastewater treatment using carbon nanotubes was studied in this review article.

Methods: Adsorption mechanism was discussed based on several research studies. Kinetics and thermodynamics of sorption were reviewed using carbon nanotubes. This review has discussed the approach of removing dyes and heavy metal ions from wastewater using nanomaterials as adsorbent. Furthermore, the paper provides several essential parameters involved in the adsorption mechanism of carbon nanotubes for wastewater applications.
