Carbon-60 Nanoparticles: Adsorption and Desorption of Organic Contaminants, and Transport in Soil
C60 is a new form of carbon with unique properties due to its small size. Since it has been predicted that C60 will be manufactured by tons, there is no doubt that it will ultimately find their way to the environment. Because of the insolubility of C60 in water, one might expect that it would not en...

Since it has been predicted that C60 will be manufactured by tons, there is no doubt that it will ultimately find their way to the environment. Because of the insolubility of C60 in water, one might expect that it would not enter groundwater in great quantities. However, "nC60" (water-stable C60 aggregates) can be formed in water by exchange of solvents, or simply by stirring, indicating that C60 might be readily available in groundwater. Therefore it is necessary to investigate the transport of C60 particles and their interactions with other environmental contaminants. The adsorption and desorption of naphthalene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene, two common organic contaminants, with nC60 in water was investigated and sorption hysteresis was observed. Naphthalene adsorption-desorption with activated carbon particles and soil organic carbon was also conducted. Similar sorption hysteresis was observed. Experimental data were fitted with different sorption models. The Dual-Equilibrium desorption model fits experimental data well. Each DED model fitting parameter has similar values for all three forms of carbon, indicating the possibility to predict the carbonaceous nanomaterial-contaminant interactions from well known carbon materials. The transport of nC60 through a soil column was characterized by flow-through apparatus. It was observed in the transport study that nC60 have limited mobility in the soil column at typical groundwater velocity, but they were more mobile at higher velocities. The effect of adsorbed nC60 on naphthalene is similar to that of soil organic carbon. This study provides useful information for the environmental risk assessment of C60 fullerene. 2007-12-21T02:58:36Z 2007-12-21T02:58:36Z 2006 Thesis http://ir.vnulib.edu.vn/handle/123456789/1451 en_US Doctor of Philosophy application/pdf Rice University |

C60 is a new form of carbon with unique properties due to its small size.

Therefore it is necessary to investigate the transport of C60 particles and their interactions with other environmental contaminants.
The adsorption and desorption of naphthalene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene, two common organic contaminants, with nC60 in water was investigated and sorption hysteresis was observed.
