Sorption and liquid chromatographic separation of light fullerenes C60 and C70 with multiwall carbon nanotubes
Abstract
Isotherms for the sorption of light fullerenes (C60 and C70) from toluene solutions with the use of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigated. Both isotherms are of the Langmuir-type. The successful liquid chromatographic separation of light fullerenes from toluene solutions was accomplished using the above-mentioned sorbent.
