A molecular dynamics simulation of Membrane distillation properties of hydrogenated single-walled carbon nanotube using LAMMPS

Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 10

Abstract

In the recent years, the development of desalination technology has aroused the interest in carbon nanotubes, both as additives to polymers and as membranes in their own right. In the present work, the transport of pure water and a saline solution with a salt concentration similar to that of sea water through membranes formed from carbon nanotubes with different terminations are studied. Nanotubes with two different end were simulated: unterminated and full hydrogen termination and also two control runs were simulated; a system of pure water and a saline solution.
