Adsorptive Removal of Diuron Herbicide on Carbon Nanotubes Synthesized from Plastic Waste

Toxicity and remediation of pharmaceuticals and pesticides using metal oxides and carbon nanomaterials

“…Besides drugs, pesticides are another class of pollutants that have been extensively removed using CNTs in aqueous solutions. The synthesized CNT from plastic waste was applied as an effective adsorbent for the diuron elimination from aqueous media (Deokar et al, 2017). This research established that the plastic waste derived CNT with q max ¼ 103.73 mg g À1 could be a suitable adsorbent for the water treatment.…”

Hydrogen and Carbon Nanotubes from Pyrolysis-Catalysis of Waste Plastics: A Review

“…The product Fe-N-CNT's showed remarkable electro-catalytic activity, outperforming a Pt on carbon electro-catalyst in oxygen reduction reaction tests and in Zn-air battery tests. Deokar et al [137] produced carbon nanotubes from waste polyethylene as the source of carbon with a Ni/Mo/MgO catalyst in a single step process using a quartz crucible. The product carbon nanotubes were tested for the removal of a herbicide (diuron) from a representative wastewater.…”

Synthesis of low-density polyethylene derived carbon nanotubes for activation of persulfate and degradation of water organic micropollutants in continuous mode

“…Figure S1b). Nevertheless, some articles also report the application of the resulting CNTs, namely in electrochemical and energy (Cai et al, 2020a;Cai et al, 2020b;Gao et al, 2018;Moo et al, 2019;Pol and Thackeray, 2011;Sridhar and Park, 2020;Veksha et al, 2020;Wen et al, 2014), environmental (Deokar et al, 2017;Gong et al, 2014;Sridhar and Park, 2020), composite filling (Borsodi et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2016) and nanomedicine (Mezni et al, 2017) applications. Although CNTs produced by CVD with pure hydrocarbons have been shown to be suitable materials for several advanced oxidation processes -AOPs (Duan et al, 2018), such as activated persulfate oxidation and catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (Ribeiro et al, 2016b), the environmental applications of CNTs produced from plastics are still limited to adsorption of oils (Gong et al, 2014) and organic micropollutants (MPs) (Deokar et al, 2017;Sridhar and Park, 2020), and have not been tested yet in AOPs, such as persulfate activation.…”
