In this study, non-irradiated and weathered multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) obtained through irradiation, were studied as adsorbents for BPA, both nanomaterials being characterized before and after the adsorption process. The objectives of our investigation were to compare the characteristics of non-irradiated and irradiated MWCNTs, to evaluate the adsorption capacity of BPA by pristine and irradiated MWCNTs and to determine the variation of the kinetic, sorption and thermodynamic parameters during sorption process using both sorbents.

Abstract The adsorptive extraction of uranium (VI) was investigated using multiwalled carbon nanotubes functionalized with dihydroimidazole (DIM-MWCNTs). Dihydroimidazole was grafted onto the surface of MWCNTs via silane coupling agent, N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazole. The new adsorbent was characterized using Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. DIM-MWCNTs were compared with MWCNTs and amidoxime modified MWCNTs (AO-MWCNTs) for uranium adsorption under seawater conditions. The adsorption capacity of uranium onto DIM-MWCNTs was 54.9 mg g−1 at 298 K, which was about 4 times of MWCNTs and similar to that of AO-MWCNTs. Compared with AO-MWCNTs, DIM-MWCNTs were more suitable for seawater pH, and less affected by vanadium. Although DIM-MWCNTs were more affected by carbonate than AO-MWCNTs, DIM-MWCNTs maintained a higher adsorption capacity than AO-MWCNTs due to its alkali resistance. Pyridine-like nitrogen (CH=N–CH) contributed to the adsorption of uranium. The results suggested that DIM-MWCNTs were a potential effective adsorbent for the separation of uranium under seawater condition.

In an attempt to explore the possibility of using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as efficient adsorbents for removal of pollutants from the contaminated water, the adsorption ofp-nitrophenol (PNP) on raw multiwalled carbon nanotubes (r.MWNTs) with different outer diameters, various functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWNTs), raw single-walled carbon nanotubes (r.SWNTs) and oxidized single-walled carbon nanotubes (ox-SWNTs) has been investigated. The ox-SWNTs showed better adsorption ability for PNP with different concentrations, while lower uptake capacity was found for all of the r.MWNTs andf-MWNTs. The removal efficiency of PNP by ox-SWNTs was around 98%, indicating that ox-SWNTs possess a great potential application prospect for removing PNP from aqueous solutions.
