Abstract:
A method of removing at least one single ring aromatic hydrocarbon from a hydrocarbon contaminated fluid. The method includes contacting the hydrocarbon contaminated fluid with carbon nanotubes to adsorb the at least one single ring aromatic hydrocarbon while exposing the hydrocarbon contaminated fluid and the carbon nanotubes to UV irradiation from at least one UV light source, preferably a UV light emitting diode (LED), with a wavelength of about 315-415 nm, preferably about 365 nm, to form a treated fluid having a reduced concentration of the at least one single ring aromatic hydrocarbon relative to the hydrocarbon contaminated fluid.

Abstract:
A method for removing benzene from water, by mixing aluminum oxide nanoparticle-impregnated multi-walled carbon nanotubes with a solution containing water and benzene to obtain a suspension containing the aluminum oxide nanoparticle-impregnated multi-walled carbon nanotubes, the water and the benzene, and then applying ultraviolet light to the suspension and stirring the suspension to remove at least a portion of the benzene from water.
