1st Edition

Foundations of Nanotechnology, Volume One Pore Size in Carbon-Based Nano-Adsorbents

    This volume covers a wide range of adsorption activities of porous carbon (PC), CNTs, and carbon nano structures that have been employed so far for the removal of various pollutants from water, wastewater, and organic compounds. The low cost, high efficiency, simplicity, and ease in the upscaling of adsorption processes using PC make the adsorption
