title = "Effects of water chemistry on removal of bisphenol A and 17β-estradiol using single walled carbon nanotubes",
abstract = "Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have attracted considerable research interest in environmental applications due to their unique physicochemical properties. The functionalization of pristine SWCNTs was carried out by acidification. The adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA) and 17β-estradiol (E2) on pristine and functionalized SWCNTs was investigated. The effects of change in pH, conductivity, and background ions on adsorption were also studied. The results indicate that functionalization affects adsorption behavior of ???? by changing surface charge on the SWCNT scaffolds. The change in the bundle size of SWCNTs is another factor that affects adsorption; an insight into the shape and size of the aggregate can help in defining the specific adsorption sites. The adsorption of BPA and E2 on SWCNTs was found to be least affected by change in pH, conductivity, and background ions. 2010",
