▎ 摘 要
NOVELTY - Process for the production of a carbon nanotube-based adsorption/filtration nanomaterial for high-volume cleaning of fluids based on carbon nanotubes, comprises annealing the carbon nanotubes without access to ambient air at a temperature of 300-1150 degrees C for 0.1-12 hours to remove amorphous carbon, graphene, fullerenes and other by-products of carbon crystallization, to form carbon nanotubes without lattice distortion and a chemically modified surface, where the carbon nanotubes are subsequently immobilized on a support substrate based on fibrous natural or synthetic material. USE - The process is used for production of a carbon nanotube-based adsorption/filtration nanomaterial for high-volume cleaning of fluids based on carbon nanotubes. The nanomaterial is used for the mass treatment of drinking water, utility water, wastewater, organic liquids such as biofuels, petroleum products, alcohol and distillates and polluted air and other fluids using immobilized carbon nanotubes. ADVANTAGE - The process achieves the immobilization of unmodified carbon nanotubes in a high volume composite material which can be used on existing adsorption devices, e.g. pressure sand filters, and which is comparable in price to existing adsorption media, e.g. activated carbon, without suffering from microbial overgrowth (as activated carbon does), removes broad spectrum of micropollutants such as herbicides and other agrochemicals, drugs, by products of drinking water chlorination and at the same time ensures microbial and virotic safety of the produced fluid (water, organic liquids, gas, and air). The adsorption/filtration nanomaterial has great potential for mass use in the production of safe water, air sterilization in air distribution systems (e.g. Legionella problem - Legionella pneumophila - in hospital air distribution systems) due to the low production costs and the ability of the material to be used on existing, already installed adsorption technologies. The process improves adsorption activity of carbon nanotubes and their broad-spectrum effect and increases its permeability. The carbon nanotube has a significantly higher adsorption capacity than the carbon nanotubes containing these degradation products or carbon nanotubes that are surface modified with chemical processes. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for an adsorption/filtration nanomaterial, for high-volume fluid purification, produced by the method, comprising immobilized carbon nanotubes on a support substrate based on fibrous natural or synthetic material, preferably on fibrous natural or synthetic fibers.
