The Removal and Inhibitory Effect of CNTs on Model Viruses

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanomaterial is becoming an important adsorption or disinfection material for removing virus from drinking water. In this study, static and dynamic tests were used to examine adsorption and inhibition characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on two model viruses -- f2 and MS2 bacteriophage. Controlling variate method was used to systematically investigate the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms of CNTs on two model viruses; as well as to find the impact of different CNTs dosages on adsorption effect; and then to study the inhibitory effect of CNTs.The results showed that: (1) The adsorption process of f2 and MS2 bacteriophage on CNTs corresponded well with the pseudo-second-order kinetics equation. Time to reach a saturation equilibrium adsorption is about 30min. (2) Both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm adequately described two adsorption processes which indicated that the removal mechanism of virus was a mix of monolayer and multilayer adsorption. (3)The dosage of a single removal system should not be too high in practical application. (4) The inhibition of CNTs on model viruses exhibited.
