Fractal-Like Kinetics Study of Adsorption on Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube

Abstract

The fractal degree of adsorption on the multi-walled carbon nanotube has been investigated. The fractal-like Langmuir kinetics model has been used to obtain the fractal degree of ion adsorption on multi-walled carbon nanotube. The behavior of the fractal-like kinetics equation was compared with some famous rate equations like Langmuir, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. It is shown that the kinetic of adsorption onto multi-walled carbon nanotube can be used to obtain its spectral dimension, successfully.
