Abstract

The qualities of waters are constantly diminishing due to release of toxic components into the environment. It is very important to treat wastewater in order to remove pollutants and improve water quality. Generally, adsorption technology has proven to be one of the most effective techniques in the separation and removal of a wide variety of organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewater. Recently, carbon nanomaterials such as fullerene, carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene-family have become promising adsorbents for water treatment. This chapter compiles relevant knowledge about the experimental and theoretical adsorption activities of fullerene, CNT and graphene-family as nanoadsorbents for removal of organic and inorganic environmental pollutants.
