Removal of toxic chromium (VI) from the wastewater under the sunlight-illumination by functionalized carbon nano-rods

The minimally explored form of nano-carbon known as carbon nano-rods (CNR) has been used for removal of toxic Cr(VI) from different types of wastewater samples under the illumination of natural sunlight. The CNR was functionalized with monomeric amine molecule named as 2, 2′-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine) (EDA) to synthesize its amine functionalized water soluble version named as functionalized soluble carbon nano-rods (f-CNR). f-CNR were...
