THE ROLE OF CARBON NANOTUBES IN ENSURING THE ECOLOGICAL PURITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Keywords:
carbon material, carbon nanotubes, water purification filters, carbon monoxide, catalysts.Abstract
This article analyses the importance of carbon nanotubes in ecology. Carbon nanotubes (hereinafter referred to as UNT) are used as an effective tool for cleaning the environment due to their properties, such as high mechanical strength, electrical and thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. The article discusses the role of UNTs in purifying water, air, and soil and improving energy efficiency. They are also mentioned in terms of their future prospects in the field of green energy technologies, biotransformation, and environmental monitoring systems. UNTs could become an important tool in the fight against global climate change, providing new opportunities for environmental protection. The article reveals the potential of carbon nanotubes in solving environmental problems through scientific research and practical examples.
