Removes MTBE from air-water and transfer it from environment by single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT): Ab initio

L.Mahdavian,M.Raouf

Through its extensive use as a fuel oxygenate,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is found nearly ubiquitously throughout the environment.MTBE, a widely used gasoline additive, is recently being scrutinized for potential environmental damage in groundwater and in the atmosphere. Select SWNT were shown to effectively remove methyl tert-butyl ether fromair-water. There are four situations forMTBE near by SWNT that we have investigated passing it across from SWNT. The properties thermodynamic are calculated for passingMTBE across from SWNT that its results are showed this method, is endothermic, spontaneous, and favorable.
