Surface modification of activated carbon for enhancement of heavy metals adsorption.
Carbon nanotubes were synthesized on granular activated carbon (CNT-GAC) to enhance its adsorption capacity was used as adsorbent. This work involved the characterization of the new material using FESEM, TEM and FTIR. Characterization revealed the morphology of CNT on GAC as multiwalled CNT with ave...
