Advancing Sustainable Manufacturing of Carbon Nanomaterials and Devices through Life Cycle Assessment

Shih W-S, Chappell M.A., Kennedy A.J., Brewer Science, Inc, US

Responsible development of nanotechnology and fostering nanotechnology into products for commercial and public benefit are two of the four long-standing National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) goals [1]. To achieve these goals, nanotechnology-related environmental, health, and safety [...]

Adsorption of paracetamol onto carbon nanomaterials and degradation by ultrasonic and gamma radiation

Hernández-Martínez A., Valdés-Callado M., González-Labrada Katia, Rapado-Paneque M., Chávez-Ardanza A., Arias M., Serp P., Bacsa R.R., Jáuregui-Haza U.J., University of Artemisa, CU

The processes integration does the treatment of wastewater polluted with pharmaceuticals a more efficient process. The adsorption of pollutants on different material, like carbon based or silica is one of the technologies more studied for [...]

Green Chemistry of Carbon Nanomaterials

Basiuk E.V., Basiuk V.A., Basiuk E.V., Basiuk V.A., Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, MX

The global trend of searching for ecologically friendly, ‘green’ chemical processes manifested itself in the chemistry of carbon nanomaterials, in particular, in the development of techniques for their chemical (both covalent and noncovalent) modification. Our [...]

Molecular Hydrogen Storage in Fullerenes for Use on Board Fuel Cell Vehicles – A Density Functional Theory Study

Durbin D.J., Allan N.L., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College, CA

Hydrogen gas is a potential fuel to replace gasoline on board vehicles. However, viable storage methods must be developed. Carbon nanomaterials are promising because they are cheap, lightweight and abundant but carbon-hydrogen physisorption is weak [...]
