Abstract:
      The structure and characteristics of carbon nanotubes were introduced. The main methods of building carbon nanotubes were also reviewed including some low cost, easy-to-operate and environmentally friendly methods, such as liquid phase synthesis and coal synthesis. Besides, the applications of carbon nanotubes in environmental protection, environmental analysis and other fields were discussed. These applications were based on the outstanding absorbing capability and electro-chemical capability of carbon nanotubes. The existing problems of carbon nanotubes in manufacturing process and in environmental application fields were discussed.
