Fabrication of MWCNTs/ThO2 nanocomposite and its adsorption behavior for the removal of Pb(II) metal from aqueous medium
Open accessAbstract
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were chemically modified to form nanocomposite with thorium oxide. The MWCNTs/ThO2 nanocomposite was characterized using different modern techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powdered diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope. The average size of MWCNTs/ThO2 nanocomposite was in the range from 5 to 10 nm. The nanocomposite material was investigated for its adsorption behavior for Pb(II) ions removal from its aqueous system. For the adsorption of Pb(II) by MWCNTs/ThO2, the equilibrium was achieved within 50 min. The temperature and pH have also found to play important role in the adsorption process and maximum adsorption was found at 45°C and pH 5.5.

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.
