Graphene Oxide in Water Treatment From Adsorption to Photocatalysis

Abstract

Graphene group of chemical elements (GO) arose as a promising material for miscellaneous requests in water treatment on account of exceptional physicochemical features. This chapter determines a comprehensive survey of the exercise of graphene oxide in water situation processes, meeting on its uses in adsorption and photocatalysis. It debates the combining methods of graphene group of chemical elements, allure structural traits, and the determinants doing its adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency. Furthermore, differing strategies to embellish the adeptness of graphene oxide-located adsorbents and photocatalysts are inspected. It also focuses on current advancements, challenges, and future outlooks engaged of graphene oxide-located water situation electronics.
