Agglomeration is a major setback in the use of pristine multiwall carbon nanotube for many applications. Therefore, application of hydroxyl functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-OH) for the removal of naphthalene and fluorine was investigated and compared with pristine MWCNT for the first...
