REMOVING CARBON NANOTUBES FROM A WATER SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and a system for removing carbon nanotubes from a water stream are provided herein. The system includes a purification vessel, wherein the purification vessel is configured to form a carbon oxide from the carbon nanotubes within the water stream. The method includes flowing the water stream into the purification vessel and injecting a chemical substance in the purification vessel. The carbon nanotubes are separated from the water stream through the interaction of the chemical substance with the carbon nanotubes within the purification vessel.
