Review on heavy metal adsorption processes by carbon nanotubes
Abstract
Abstract The most important and indispensable substance for life on earth is water. Regrettably, the growths of civilization, population, and industrssialization have led to a steady deterioration in the quality of available water resources. Heavy metals are a particular problem because of their high toxicity. This work highlights up-to-date methods for the removal of heavy metals from water using the technique of adsorption. After a comprehensive review of the range of materials used as adsorbents to remove heavy metals, the paper focuses on one particular technique, involving carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Tests have confirmed that CNTs are highly efficient, but have also revealed some drawbacks. Further adjustments and refinements are therefore required to improve their ability to remove heavy metals. This study shows that using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as a functionalization agent to replace ionic liquids (ILs) has a number of advantages, including lower costs, easier availability of materials and environmentally friendliness. In sum, it suggests that the most efficient adsorption process is to use functionalized CNTs with DESs as an adsorbent. The critical analysis and conclusions emerging from this study should be of benefit to engineers, environmental scientists and chemists interested in the use of carbon nanotubes for use in environmental remediation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
