Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were used as adsorbent to remove fulvic acids (FA) from aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity of CNTs for FA can reach 24 mg g^βˆ’1^ at 5 Β°C and equilibrium concentration of 18 mg dm^βˆ’3^. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, such as rate of adsorption, standard free energy changes (Ξ”__G__^0^), standard enthalpy change (Ξ”__H__^0^) and standard entropy change (Ξ”__S__^0^), have been obtained. Acidic conditions (pH = 2–5) favor FA removal. An increase in the ionic strength or the addition of divalent cations increase the adsorption of FA dramatically (FA = 60 mg dm^βˆ’3^). An increase in the maximum adsorbed amount of FA was observed when treating FA in synthetic seawater. Desorption studies reveal that FA can be easily and quickly removed from CNTs by altering the pH values of the solution. Good adsorption capacity and quick desorption indicate that CNTs are a promising adsorbent to remove FA from aqueous solutions. Copyright Β© 2007 Society of Chemical Industry

## Abstract Activated carbons play an important role in the purification of air and of water. Whereas vapors are adsorbed by a micropore filling process, the removal of sparingly soluble species such as phenol and its derivatives is limited to the coating of the effective surface of the material. T
