Adsorption thermodynamic, kinetic and desorption studies of Pb2+ on carbon nanotubes.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Desorption studies reveal that Pb2+ can be easily removed from carbon Nanotubes by altering the pH values of the solution using both HCl and HNO3, indicating that carbon nanotubes are a promising absorbent for wastewater treatment.

In vitro immunotoxicity of untreated and treated urban wastewaters using various treatment processes to rainbow trout leucocytes.

TL;DR: Examining the immunotoxicity of urban wastewaters before and after 6 treatment processes from 12 cities toward trout leucocytes revealed that municipal effluents have the potential to alter the immune system in fish and more research will be needed to improve the treatments of wastewater to better protect the quality of the aquatic environment.

Facile Fabrication of 3D Graphene⁻Silica Hydrogel Composite for Enhanced Removal of Mercury Ions.

TL;DR: Mechanism study showed that the high adsorption ability was due to the formation of an N–Hg complex with multi-amino groups on the surface of polyethyleneimine-modified silica gel (SG-PEI) and the rapid diffusion of adsorbed ions attributed to the rGH network structure.

Novel nanocomposite of biochar-zerovalent copper for lead adsorption.

TL;DR: In this article, a composite of zerovalent copper-biochar was investigated for its ability to remove lead from water, which was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractomter (XRD), and Xray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS).

Storage of hydrogen in single-walled carbon nanotubes

TL;DR: In this article, a gas can condense to high density inside narrow, single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) under conditions that do not induce adsorption within a standard mesoporous activated carbon.

Stress-induced fragmentation of multiwall carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the observation of single nanotube fragmentation, under tensile stresses, using nanotubes-containing thin polymeric films, and they estimate that the multi-wall multi-nanotube-matrix stress transfer efficiency is at least one order of magnitude larger than in conventional fiber-based composites.
