Application of carbon nanotubes for removal of copper ion from synthetic water

The safety and the health of society can be affected by the presence of high concentration of environmental contaminants such as copper ion in wastewater. However, it was found that nanotechnology have shown remarkable results in the removal of the contaminants concentration from water by using...
