Abstract
In the present study, Carbon nanotubes were preparediocally, characterized and investigated for wastewater treatment. In the batch mode, experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of contact time, wastewater strength and adsorbent dosage on the removal of COD, BOD, TSS, and pathogens from a real municipal wastewater. The as prepared nanotubes exhibit effective removal efficiencies over the different concentration ranges.The results show that the equilibrium time was 10 min for COD and TSS, and the maximum removal percentage for all COD, BOD and TSS was 90, 91 and 97, respectively.
