Temperature profiles of three types CNTs (SWCNT, MWCNT and MWCNT-COOH) loaded environmental matrices generated from a microwave induced heating quantification method

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2016-10-03
Relationships of temperature and CNT mass (SWCNT, MWCNT, MWCNT-COOH) were developed for three environmental matrices (sand, soil and sludge) spiked with known amounts of different types of CNTs that were then irradiated in a microwave at low energies (70-149 W) for a short time (15-30 sec). Temperature rises data were recorded for CNT loaded environmental samples with excess of inorganic/organic carbon and other carbonaceous nanomaterials (C60, GAC and GO). This dataset is associated with the following publication: He, Y., S. Al-Abed, and D. Dionysiou. Quantification of Carbon Nanotubes in Different Environmental Matrices by a Microwave Induced Heating Method. D. Barcelo, and Jay Gan SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT.
