Removal of Cu Ions from Aqueous Solutions by Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a new crystalline form in the carbon family, have been shown to be an effective adsorbent for Cu 2+ ion removal from aqueous solution. After oxidation with nitric acid, the adsorption capacity of the oxidized CNTs towards Cu 2+ ions at a pH of 5.2 reached 27.6 mg/g, compared...
