Abstract
Aqueous dispersions of carbon nanoparticles have been obtained in the range of 1–100 nm, concentration of 150–400 ppm and pH of 2.8– 3.1 using a novel synthesis technique. Due to functional carboxyl groups the ion exchange capacity of carbon colloids obtained is very high — 7.4 mmol/g for a monovalent cation. The synthesized carbon nanoparticles are proved to be effective in removal of metal ions (Zn, Ni, Cu, Sb, Co, Cd, Cr, etc.) from contaminated water samples.
