Abstract This paper reports a facile method for removal of sulfate from wastewater by magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MMWCNTs). Multi-walled carbon nanotubes and MMWCNTs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results of the analysis indicated that MMWCNTs were synthesized successfully. The MMWCNTs can be easily manipulated in a magnetic field for the desired separation, leading to the removal of sulfate from wastewater. Response surface methodology (RSM) coupled with central composite design was applied to evaluate the effects of D/C (adsorbent dosage per initial concentration of pollutant (mgadsorbent/(mg/l)initial)) and pH on sulfate removal (%). Using RSM methodology, a quadratic polynomial equation was obtained, for removal of sulfate, by multiple regression analysis. The optimum combination for maximum sulfate removal of 93.28% was pH = 5.96 and D/C = 24.35. The experimental data were evaluated by the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. The adsorption capacity of sulfate in the studied concentration range was 56.94 (mg/g). It was found out that the MMWCNTs could be considered as a promising adsorbent for the removal of sulfate from wastewater.

In this study, amino-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes ( MWCNTs - NH 2) were successfully synthesized via an improved method and used for removal of organic dyes in aqueous solution. The synthesized MWCNTs - NH 2 were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), etc. The adsorption capacity and selectivity of MWCNTs - NH 2 for organic dyes was evaluated using rhodamine B ( RhB ), malachite green (MG), methyl orange (MO) and congo red (CR) as models. The selective adsorption toward anionic dyes was found for the MWCNTs - NH 2, and MO was selected as a typical anionic dye to deeply investigate the adsorption kinetics, equilibrium isotherms and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption process. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherms data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir isotherm model. The thermodynamics study revealed that the adsorption of MO onto MWCNTs - NH 2 was spontaneous, exothermic and physisorptive in nature. The results indicated that MWCNTs - NH 2 are promising nanomaterials for removal of anionic dyes from industrial wastewater.
