A Point Defect Model has been developed to describe theoretically the corrosion of metals
and alloys in supercritical aqueous systems. The model, SCW_PDM, accounts for the kinetics …

Three different carbonaceous materials, activated carbon, graphene oxide, and multi-walled
carbon nanotubes, were modified by nitric acid and used as adsorbents for the removal of …

Graphene was prepared using a modified Hummers’ method. The physico-chemical properties
of graphene were characterized by TEM, BET specific surface area, FTIR, Raman and …

A batch adsorption system was applied to investigate the adsorption of fluoride from aqueous
solution by graphene. The adsorption capacities and rates of fluoride onto graphene at …

The as-grown CNTs and graphitized CNTs were used as adsorbents to remove 1,2-dichlorobenzene
from water. The experiments demonstrate that it takes only 40 min for CNTs to …

Graphene oxide has been used as an adsorbent in wastewater treatment. However, the
dispersibility in aqueous solution and the biotoxicity to human cells of graphene oxide limits its …

Using the immersion phase inversion process, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and graphene
oxide (GO) dissolved in N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) were combined to prepare organic…

With bulk production and increasing application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as adsorbents
in wastewater treatment, they will eventually be discharged into water environment and …

Graphene, a new member of carbon family, has been prepared, characterized and used as
adsorbent to remove phenol from aqueous solution. The effect parameters including pH, …

A novel adsorbent, ceria supported on carbon nanotubes (CeO 2 -CNTs), was developed for
the removal of arsenate from water. The experiments show that CeO 2 -CNTs is an effective …
