A facile method to modify activated carbon fibers for drinking water purification

Pitch-based carbon fibers: preparation and applications

“…Carbon nanomaterials (CNM) like as: carbon fibers (CF), activated carbon (AC), nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (Gr), carbon quantum dots (CQDs), in view of their excellent physicochemical, sorption, mechanical and electrical properties, find wide application in various areas of human life [1][2][3][4][5]. So, for example, they are used in water purification [6][7][8][9][10], various energy-intensive systems [11,12], catalyst carriers [13][14][15], sensors [15][16][17][18][19], targeted delivery of drugs [20][21][22][23] and etc. Due to the wide range of applications for carbon nanomaterials, the development of economically viable and environmentally friendly methods for their production remains a topical issue.…”

Converting waste textiles into highly effective sorbent materials

“…These materials have applications in areas such as energy storage, 5,6 catalyst supports, 7,8 and ltration. 9,10 In particular for ltration, the low density and inherent hydrophobic nature of carbon substrates make them suitable to remove oil and organic solvents from wastewater. 11,12 Carbon substrates can be obtained from either synthesized or natural polymer based materials.…”

Low Molecular Weight Hydrogel for Super Efficient Separation of Small Organic Molecules Based on Size Effect

“…Water purification has attracted global environmental concerns, as serious pollution is occurring in the release of hazardous waste containing heavy metals, dyes, pharmaceuticals, petroleum products, pesticides and fertilizer with the rapid development of industrialization. − Gels are soft materials that are exploited in many environmental applications due to their unique and tunable properties. , For example, thin porous cross-linked polymer gels with well-defined and adjustable dimensional pores are utilized as filter and separation membranes for water purification. , To polymer gel films, the pores are formed in the swollen polymer network with chemical cross-links between polymer chains, which cross the gel film from top to bottom via the fabrication of a lithographical method or phase separation during polymerization; , however, the contradiction is found between high permeability and efficient separation selectivity in the gel filter membranes…”
