Herein, Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was used for the first time to optimize synthesis of diameter-controlled multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The nanoadsorbents, MWCNTs5-15 nm and MWCNTs16-25 nm were applied for Pb(II) and Ni(II) ion removal from paint, battery and electroplating wastewater....
