Preface

The potential offered by carbon nanomaterials and its innovative applications is attracting increasing interest from various sectors, both academic and industrial, especially application as nanoadsorbent. Carbon nanomaterials can play an important role in this context, and therefore, an emerging research area is the development of new nanomaterials with promisingly high affinity, capacity, and selectivity for adsorption. The removal of obstacles to the use of carbon nanomaterials, enabling products based on nanostructured materials to be available soon to society, will take place as advances occur in the interaction between industry, research centers, and the development of human resources. Therefore, it is essential to exchange information and experiences in these areas. This book “Carbon Nanomaterials as Adsorben
