Adsorption of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by multi-walled carbon nanotubes as affected by Cu(II)

Abstract: Cu(II)Multi IntroductionCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered to be superior adsorbents of pollutants due to their unique properties and relative high reactivity. (Li et al., 2003a;Lu and Chiu, 2006;Wang et al., 2005). Oxidation removes impurities and hemispherical caps, hence increases surface area and introduces oxygen-containing functional groups (Li et al., 2003a;Lu and Chiu, 2006;Wang et al., 2005). Modification of the structure and surface properties of CNTs affected sorption capacity and sorption mech… Show more

“…, the adsorption capacity of MMC to TCP was 210 and 587 mg g À1 , respectively, which were much higher than those obtained on other carbon-based materials reported in literature [43,40,[48][49][50]. For activated carbon, the largest surface area is made up of micro pores (with a radius of less than 1 nm), and the micro pores are easily clogged up in aqueous solution, which makes the adsorptive sites unavailable to adsorbates.…”

“…Previous studies suggested that metal cations may influence the environmental fate of toxic chemicals in soil-water systems [32,33]. Our primary study showed that metallic cations may influence the adsorption of atrazine and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol onto CNTs [28,34], implying that organic chemicals exhibit different environmental behaviors in multiple contaminant system from that in singlesolute systems.…”

“…Among these interactions, hydrophobic interaction has been used to interpret the sorption of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) by CNPs, because the surfaces of CNPs are hydrophobic (Gotovac et al, 2006;2007c;Yang et al, 2006). Electrostatic interaction may be the dominant interaction for the adsorption of charged organic contaminants on CNPs (MacKay and Vasudevan, 2012), such as the adsorption of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (OFL and NOR) on CNTs, as affected by pH (Wang et al, 2009;Peng et al, 2012b). Hydrogen bonds can form between CNPs and organic contaminants if both chemicals and CNPs have certain functional groups, such as -OH, -COOH, -F, and -NH 2 (Vermisoglou et al, 2007;van Wieren et al, 2012).…”
