Clean production of carbon nanomaterials to remove arsenic from drinking water

Novel carbon nanomaterials (CNM) were synthesized through a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process to adsorb arsenic (As) from water. Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni) catalysts were used to produce two different types of CNM, namely carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanofibres (CNF). Powdered activated...
