Abstract
Some pharmaceutical and personal care products, including endocrine disruptors, are polluting ecosystems, thus requiring advanced materials and methods for detection and remediation. Here we review carbon nanotubes for detection and remediation of pharmaceutical and personal care products, with focus on green synthesis of hybrid carbon nanotubes, removal of pollutants, and deep learning networks to predicts adsorption. Pollutants include bisphenol, phthalates, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin. We found that magnetic carbon nanotubes are easily recovered from water with a relatively low production cost. Functionalized carbon dots/carbon nanotube hybrids can detect ciprofloxacin contamination at 0.001 mg/L. Some studies report the adsorption of 95% or the photocatalytic degradation of 100% of pollutants using magnetic carbon nanotubes.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Chemistry Letters explores the intersections of geology, chemistry, physics, and biology. Published articles are of paramount importance to the examination of both natural and engineered environments. The journal features original and review articles of exceptional significance, encompassing topics such as the characterization of natural and impacted environments, the behavior, prevention, treatment, and control of mineral, organic, and radioactive pollutants. It also delves into interfacial studies involving diverse media like soil, sediment, water, air, organisms, and food. Additionally, the journal covers green chemistry, environmentally friendly synthetic pathways, alternative fuels, ecotoxicology, risk assessment, environmental processes and modeling, environmental technologies, remediation and control, and environmental analytical chemistry using biomolecular tools and tracers.
