Carbon Nanotubes as Effective Remedy for Thin Oil-water Films Removal
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This article describes the process of synthesis of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as well as the results of their use as adsorbents for removing the oil contaminants from the surface of water. SEM and TEM analyses were employed to characterize the synthesized MWCNTs. The sorption capacity of MWCNTs for crude oil was 3–4 ml/g, and with an increase in the specific gravity of the petroleum product, this value also increased. Keywords: oil-water films, environmental pollution, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, renewable adsorbents.
