Abstract

Taking into consideration the perspective of green chemistry, an attempt was made to investigate regenerative material for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with high productivity. The special properties of CNTs, such as easy functionalization ability, high surface area, and unique thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties, make them an appealing component for composite materials, which resulted in the attraction of great interest on CNT-based composites. This research work focuses mainly on multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) synthesized from camphor over iron nitrate catalyst supported on alumina by wet impregnation method. The formation of MWCNTs and incorporation of poly conducting polymers (o- and m-Toluidine) on the surface of MWCNTs was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), low temperature nitrogen adsorption and Thermo-Gravimetric analysis (TGA). The performance evaluation of as-synthesized MWCNTs and their nanocomposites towards adsorption of methylene blue (MB) dye and Pb(II) was also highlighted. MWCNTs and their nanocomposites pose a great potential as a promising material for application in adsorption from aqueous solution.
