Relationships of temperature and CNT mass (SWCNT, MWCNT, MWCNT-COOH) were developed for three environmental matrices (sand, soil and sludge) spiked with known amounts of different types of CNTs that were then irradiated in a microwave at low energies (70-149 W) for a short time (15-30 sec). Temperature rises data were recorded for CNT loaded environmental samples with excess of inorganic/organic carbon and other carbonaceous nanomaterials (C60, GAC and GO).
