Abstract

We report a one-pot method to synthesize magnetic iron oxide/CNT composites (MI/CNTs) based on as-prepared CNTs (APCNTs) using KOH activation. MI/CNTs have high specific surface area, good dispersion and magnetic properties, making them promising for use as adsorbents for arsenic removal. The results of this work are highly significant for large-scale applications of APCNTs containing Fe catalytic particles without the need for prior purification.
