“…Therefore, correlations that can be applied to predict adsorption isotherms of organic compounds on CNTs with the physiochemical properties of both organic compounds and CNTs are of great importance to promote the applications of CNTs as superior sorbent. These correlations are also essential for the prediction and assessment of the environmental and health risks of both CNTs and organic compounds because they are toxic and will be released into the environment in their production, transportation, storage, use and disposal (Kam et al, 2004;Yang and Lin, 2014).…”

Adsorption of 22 nonpolar and polar aromatic compounds on 10 carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with various diameters, lengths and surface oxygen-containing group contents was investigated to develop predictive correlations for adsorption, using the isotherm fitting of Polanyi theory-based Dubinin-Ashtakhov (DA) model. Adsorption capacity of aromatic compounds on CNTs is negatively correlated with melting points of aromatic compounds, and surface oxygen-containing group contents and surface area ratios of mesopores to total pores of CNTs, but positively correlated with total surface area of CNTs. Adsorption affinity is positively correlated with solvatochromic parameters of aromatic compounds, independent of tube lengths and surface oxygen-containing group contents of CNTs, but negatively correlated with surface area ratios of mesopores to total pores of CNTs. The correlations of adsorption capacity and adsorption affinity with properties of both aromatic compounds and CNTs clearly have physical significance, can be used successfully with DA model to predict adsorption of aromatic compounds on CNTs from the well-known physiochemical properties of aromatic compounds (i.e., solvatochromic parameters, melting points) and CNTs (i.e., surface area and total acidic group contents), and thus can facilitate the environmental application of CNTs as sorbents and environmental risk assessment of both aromatic contaminants and CNTs.

What is the most favorite and original chemistry developed in your research group? Nanomaterial pollution chemistry. How do you get into this specific field? Could you please share some experiences with our readers? I started to work on nanomaterial pollution chemistry during my visiting scholar research (2006-2008) in UMass, Amherst, USA. There, I studied chemistry involved in environmental behaviors and biological effects of nanomaterials. Thereafter, this becomes the major research topic in my lab till now. How do you supervise your students? Talk and discuss with them about their research regularly. Being prepared before giving comments or suggestions on their research results to make my viewpoints helpful. Share relevant and latest references with them. Appropriately push them to read, think, and do more. Encourage them to ask more questions about experimental phenomena. Inspire their ambition to publish good papers and become good scientists. What is the most important personality for scientific research? Hungering for truth and novelty.
