Abstract:
 Because water resources scarcity and water pollution are increasingly being serious problemsduring rapid urbanization and  industrialisationin China, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-based composite membranes have been being one popular type of separation membranes for separation application, since they combine the excellent performances of traditional membrane materials with those ofCNTs. In this paper, with a brief introduction of fabrication and growth mechanism of CNTs,research progress of both fabrication methods for CNTs-based composite membranes and some applications such as seawater desalination, oil-water separation, removal of heavy metal ions and emerging pollutionsin water are reviewed in detail. In future, key researchissues for CNTs-based composite membranes might be focused on reducing membrane cost, improving membrane performance and exploring more applications to promote its large-scale application in environmental water treatment field.
