Abstract
Nowadays, there has been a growing interest in the investigation of the possibility of nanomaterials utilization as efficient adsorbents. Carbon nanotubes are one of the most exciting fields of research in such area. The objective of this book chapter is to detail how to utilize carbon nanotubes in such applications. This chapter starts with a general introduction about carbon nanotubes. After that, the nature of carbon nanotubes as adsorbents will be discussed along with the methods used for carbon nanotubes' activation. Then, the methods of investigating carbon nanotubes as adsorbents will be discussed. The chapter ends with brief conclusions.
