Photocatalytic Carbon-Nanotube–TiO2 Composites
TL;DR: The literature and advances in photocatalysis based on the combination of titania (TiO2) and carbon nanotubes is presented in this paper, and the proposed mechanisms of catalytic enhancement resulting from the pairing of the titania semiconductor with either metallic, semiconducting, or defect-rich carbon nanotsubes (CNT) is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on nanomaterials for environmental remediation
TL;DR: Nanomaterials in various shapes/morphologies, such as nanoparticles, tubes, wires, fibres etc., function as adsorbents and catalysts and their composites with polymers are used for the detection and removal of gases (SO2, CO, NOx, etc.), contaminated chemicals (arsenic, iron, manganese, nitrate, heavy metals, etc.).

Adsorptive removal of dyes from aqueous solution onto carbon nanotubes: a review.
TL;DR: It is evident from the literature that CNT based nanosorbents have shown good potential for the removal of dyes from aqueous solution, however, still more research work should be focused on the development of cost effective, higher efficient and environmental friendly CNTbased nanOSorbents for their commercial applications.

Kinetics of Adsorption on Carbon from Solution
Walter J. Weber,J. C. Morris +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the rate of adsorption of persistent organic compounds on granular carbon is quite low and the rate is partially a function of the pore size distribution of the adsorbent, of the molecular size and configuration of the solute, and of the relative electrokinetic properties of adsorbate and adsorbents.

Sorption of dye from aqueous solution by peat
Yuh-Shan Ho,Gordon McKay +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the sorption of two dyes, namely Basic Blue 69 and Acid Blue 25 onto peat has been studied in terms of pseudo-second order and first order mechanisms for chemical sorption as well as an intraparticle diffusion mechanism process.
