Abstract

Currently, researchers are interested in the preparation of adsorbents based on tubular carbon nanofibers for uranium extraction from seawater for a clean energy source have been reviewed. Experimental and theoretical approaches on the working principles have been addressed. The main properties, structural morphology, influence various parameters on the adsorption uranium, interaction between the active sites and uranium including carboxyl group, and mechanism of composite formation with biopolymers. This chapter presents the use of carboxylated tubular carbon nanotubes and their preparation methods for the detection and adsorption of metal ion aqueous media.
