Differences in Iron Removal from Carbon Nanoonions and Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes for Analytical Purpose

The paper describes the differences between wet iron removal from carbon nanoonions and from multiwall carbon nanotubes for analytical purpose . N owadays , b oth carbon nanoonions and multiwall carbon nanotubes are one of the most interesting materials with applicability in electronic s , medicine and biotechnology. Medical application s of those nanomaterials require not only recognition of their structure but also measurement of metal impurities concentration. I nductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry as a method for Fe - determination requires liquid samples. Hence, we propose various protocols for leaching of iron from studied materials. Our results proved that structure of nanomaterials have an impact on the efficiency of iron removal.
