Background: Benzene is a volatile compound in petroleum products and the major concern about this is carcinogenic effects.This study aimed to review benzene removal ability ofmulti-walled carbon nanotubesby surface modified with calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite from aqueous solution. Methods: The removal of benzene from aqueous solution by multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT) and its modified surface by calcium hypochlorite [MWCNT(Ca(OCl)2)]and sodium hypochlorite[MWCNT(NaOCl)]were evaluated. Synthetic samples were analyzed by Gas Chromatography.. Findings: Inthis study, nano-materials with dosageof 0.5 g/l, contact time (1-hr and 2-hr) with benzene concentration of 100 mg/l and pH 7 werechosen. The equilibrium amount (qe) and removal efficiency (R)for benzene were 188.6 mg/g and 94.3%, respectively andby MWCNT(Ca(OCl)2)werehigher than MWCNT(NaOCl)(qe=187.7;R=93.9%)and MWCNT(qe =182.6;R=91.3%). Conclusion: The MWCNT(Ca(OCl)2) can effectively adsorb benzene from water and can thus be used as efficient adsorbents to purify waters and wastewaters polluted by the petrochemicals.
