Competitive adsorption of phenol and 3-chlorophenol on purified MWCNTs

Abstract: A commercial multiwall carbon nanotube and its carboxylated derivate (CNTC and COOHC, respectively) was used after purification to study the competitive adsorption of phenol (P) and m-chlorophenol (CP) from 0.1 M aqueous NaCl solutions without external pH control. The adsorption takes place practically exclusively on the external surface of the nanotubes. The uptake of P is suppressed in comparison to its single solute behaviour on both nanotubes, independently of the initial pollutant concentration. The uptak… Show more

“…The electron density in the aromatic ring then decreases as the number of chlorine groups increases. On the other hand, the electron density in the aromatic ring of CP is lower than that of P. Therefore, the affinity of DCP to p electrons in MWCNTs surface is higher (Tóth et al 2012).…”

“…The most popular and widely used adsorptive material is activated carbon [3][4][5][6]. In recent years, as an adsorbent for the removal of chlorophenols from water, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] have also been studied.…”

“…As another group of common water pollutants, chlorophenols (CPs) can be found in wastewater from various industrial processes, such as tanning, manufacturing preservatives, pesticides, and so on [ 4 , 5 ]. They are listed as “priority toxic pollutants” by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to their strong toxicity and poor biodegradability [ 6 , 7 ]. Therefore, substantial studies have been conducted to remove CPs from wastewater.…”
