“…In a study, by mixing CNT with graphene oxide (GO), CNTs significantly promoted the water flux via adjusting GO interlayer spacing [130]. Furthermore, the CNT hybrid fillers could experience high water permeability using the interfacial polymerization method [97,115,132,133]. Functionalized CNTs can not only easily incorporated into a polymer matrix, but also increase hydrophilicity via hydrogen bonding [132].…”

Functionalized CNTs can not only easily incorporated into a polymer matrix, but also increase hydrophilicity via hydrogen bonding [132]. Meanwhile, because of its increased hydrophilicity, functionalized CNTs [134] can also enhance water permeability [113,132,[135][136][137][138] without sacrificing NaCl rejection [22].…”

As a sustainable, cost-effective and energy-efficient method, membranes are becoming a progressively vital technique to solve the problem of the scarcity of freshwater resources. With these critical advantages, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have great potential for membrane desalination given their high aspect ratio, large surface area, high mechanical strength and chemical robustness. In recent years, the CNT membrane field has progressed enormously with applications in water desalination. The latest theoretical and experimental developments on the desalination of CNT membranes, including vertically aligned CNT (VACNT) membranes, composited CNT membranes, and their applications are timely and comprehensively reviewed in this manuscript. The mechanisms and effects of CNT membranes used in water desalination where they offer the advantages are also examined. Finally, a summary and outlook are further put forward on the scientific opportunities and major technological challenges in this field.

The article presents the investigation results of the formation and synthesis of nanosized materials which were obtained at the Institute of Combustion Problems, many works have been brought to practical use. Investigations of low-temperature soot formation become the basis of nanomaterial synthesis methods, developed at the Institute for Combustion Problems since 1985. Flame can be considered as a chemical reactor to produce target products. The main feature of the processes based on technological combustion is that the target product is formed as a result of the combustion reaction, occurring spontaneously at high temperatures with a high speed without consuming external energy, i.e. due to its own heat. With the development of nanotechnology, new challenges have emerged in the synthesis of nanomaterials under combustion synthesis conditions. Below is a list of works on nanomaterials synthesis carried out at the Institute: complete scheme of soot formation; energy intensive nanocarbon materials; development and study of perovskite photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution; obtaining carbon fibers by the method of electrospinning; obtaining of biologically soluble membranes based on polymeric nanofibres and hydroxyapatite of calcium; synthesis of nanocarbon sorbents for purification of water from heavy metal ions.

A hybrid nanocomposite cobalt ferrite and Tragacanth gum, denoted as Co x Fe 3-x O 4 @silica@TG was developed and applied in concurrent removal of chromate and nitrate ions from wastewater. The results showed that the presence of Tragacanth gum considerably improved the capability of cobalt ferrite for removing the pollutants. The adsorption properties and surface morphology of the sorbent were compared with those of bare cobalt ferrite, Tragacanth gum, and Tragacanth gum crosslinked copolymer. The properties of the proposed nanocomposite were studied using FT-IR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The effect of different factors including the amount of the adsorbent, sample pH, contact time and initial concentration was also evaluated and optimized through response surface methodology using central composite design. The optimal conditions for the adsorption of both chromate and nitrate ions (30 mg L À 1 as the concentration of both of them) were pH = 3, an adsorbent dose of 1 mg mL À 1 and 22.4 min contact time. The adsorption process was found to follow the pseudosecond order and intra-particle diffusion kinetic models. The equilibrium adsorption data followed the Langmuir isotherm and the highest adsorption capacity was determined to be 44.1 and 30.7 mg g À 1 for chromate and nitrate, respectively.
