Effectiveness of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and activated carbon for capturing E. coli 0157:H7 for application in water filtration

The ability of unmodified and functionalized carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to capture Escherichia coli 0157:H7 from water was tested and compared with activated carbon (AC). This study aims to test the effectiveness of these materials to filter out this bacteria strain. Chemical oxidation was used to fu...
