Abstract
⺠Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used for the adsorptive removal of aniline. ⺠Adsorption was dependent on MWCNTs dosage, contact time, aniline concentration, and solution pH and temperature. ⺠Kinetic study revealed that the adsorption followed the pseudo-second order. ⺠Adsorption of aniline occurs in two consecutive steps including slow intra-particle diffusion through the nanotubes. ⺠Thermodynamic studies indicated the spontaneity and exothermic nature of the adsorption.
