The present work aims to give a general overview of two important adsorbent materials: Carbon Nanotubes and Engelhard Titanium Silicates. Both are advantageously used for water purification and thanks to their peculiar properties they can be used in different sectors. In this paper are reported the characteristics and properties of each single adsorbent material. Particular attention is paid to the latest studies reported in the literature regarding their application and specificities in the different environmental fields.
