Abstract

Compared to other existing carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are recognized for their significant properties. Despite their strong adsorption affinity, the difficulty of their dispersion and separation leads to limit their application in practical water treatment. Moreover, wastewater contamination by noxious organics, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and methylene blue (MB) dye compounds has become a world-wide environmental concern because they may be harmful to humans’ health and the ecosystem. Therefore, this article aims to explore the potential of economically directly growing CNTs on porous supports, such as the powder activated carbon (AC) to develop a multiscale hybridized material and to investigate their expected potential as viable adsorbents for removing persistent organic contaminants.

摘要

与其他现有的碳纳米材料 (CNM) 相比，碳纳米管 (CNT) 因其显着的特性而受到认可。尽管它们具有很强的吸附亲和力，但它们的分散和分离困难导致它们在实际水处理中的应用受到限制。此外，双酚 A (BPA) 和亚甲蓝 (MB) 染料化合物等有毒有机物污染废水已成为世界范围内的环境问题，因为它们可能对人类健康和生态系统有害。因此，本文旨在探索在多孔载体（如粉末活性炭 (AC)）上经济地直接生长 CNT 以开发多尺度杂化材料的潜力，并研究其作为去除持久性有机污染物的可行吸附剂的预期潜力。
