Removal of toxic metals is one of the biggest challenges in ensuring safe water for all as well as protecting the environment. Novel multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) have been successfully synthesised by microwave techniques and improved to be an outstanding adsorbent for the removal of Zn(II)...
