Graphene-Based Materials as Adsorbents for Wastewater Decontamination

"This book aims at providing a fundamental grasp of graphene-based materials (GAMs) concerning their adsorption process. The effect of diverse process parameters, including pH, temperature, agitation, competing ions, etc., on the adsorption performance of GAMs as well as their recent and relevant applications in biomedical fields, are discussed. The current challenges and future outlook have been addressed as an independent chapter and also covers the recyclability of these adsorbent materials. This book focuses on graphene-based materials as adsorbents to remove contaminants from wastewater and includes detailed computational and statistical analyses, and cost comparison points. It compares performance of graphene-based materials as adsorbents in the context of various other reported adsorbents, including other 2D materials, such as WS2 and BN. It also provides fundamental comprehension of the graphene-based materials' adsorption process and discusses recyclable nature of graphene-based materials as well as approaches used. This book has been aimed at graduate students and researchers in wastewater treatment, environmental, materials, and chemical engineering"--
