Abstract
A nanocomposite sorbent which contains molybdenum carbide, molybdenum nitride, and molybdenum oxide. The nanocomposite sorbent is in the form of nanosheets having a mean size of 10 to 100 μm and a mean thickness of 10 to 1000 nm. A method of forming the nanocomposite sorbent is also provided. The nanocomposite sorbent is used to form a membrane filter with a fluorinated polymer. The nanocomposite sorbent and membrane filter are each used in a method of removing an organic pollutant from water.
Claims15
A nanocomposite sorbent, comprising:
- molybdenum carbide,
