Abstract

The contamination of water resources with noxious pollutants is a serious issue. Many aquatic systems are contaminated with different toxic inorganic and organic species; coming to wastewater from various anthropogenic sources such as industries, agriculture, mining, and domestic households. Keeping in view of this, wastewater treatment appears to the main environmental challenge. Adsorption is one of the most efficient techniques for removing all most all types of pollutants i.e. inorganics and organics. Nowadays, graphene and its composite materials are gaining importance as nano adsorbents. Graphene; a two-dimensional nanomaterial having single-atom graphite layer; has attracted a great interest in many…
