Abstract

The Industries which are using hazardous chemicals have the potential to pollute water resources through the discharge of the effluent to rivers and other water bodies. Thus the demand for developing technologies leading to an effective removal of this effluent has become a great challenge. Advancements in nanoscience and engineering are giving new opportunities to develop more cost-effective and environmentally acceptable water treatment technologies. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are emerging as potential adsorbents because of its well defined cylindrical hollow structure, large surface area, high aspect ratios, hydrophobic wall and easily modified surfaces. Large scale and Low cost synthesis of CNTs using Acacia Concinna (mimosaceae) at 7000C in an inert atmosphere using chemical oil vapour deposition method (COVD) is reported. The morphology of CNTs was studied using SEM, XRD, FTIR etc and are used for the effluent treatment.
