“…The characteristics of carbon cloth such as lightweight, compactness, high hydraulic conductivity, low mass transfer resistances, and ease of arrange in a variety of stable configurations simplify and encourage its practical application 19 , 25 . The effectiveness of the plain and oxidized carbon cloth for the adsorption of benzotriazole from aqueous solutions was tested.…”

“…Consequently, adsorption became the most widely applied 4 , 7 , 14 – 18 . So far, among the many materials that have been utilized as adsorbents, carbonaceous materials stand out because of their demonstrated affinity for various contaminants 19 , 20 . Activated carbon has three forms; granular, powdered and fibers, felts or cloth 16 , 18 .…”

“…Activated carbon has three forms; granular, powdered and fibers, felts or cloth 16 , 18 . Unlike carbon cloth (CC), granular (GAC) and powdered activated carbons (PAC) suffer from the release of fine particles and dusts, and also, suffer from significant headloss due to their small grain size, and the accumulation of solid debris at the filter surface 17 , 19 .…”

A commercial carbon cloth (CC) was oxidized by HNO3 acid and the features of the plain and oxidized CC were evaluated. The results of characterization illustrated that HNO3 oxidization duplicated the oxygen-containing functional groups and the surface area of the CC. The adsorption performance of the plain and oxidized CC (Oxi-CC) toward benzotriazole (BTR) was compared. The results disclosed that the uptake of BTR by oxidized CC was greater than the plain CC. Thence, the affinity of oxidized CC toward BTR was assessed at different conditions. It was found that the adsorption was quick, occurred at pH 9 and improved by adding NaCl or CaCl2 to the BTR solution. The kinetic and isotherm studies revealed that the surface of Oxi-CC is heterogeneous and the adsorption of BTR follows a physical process and forms multilayer over the Oxi-CC surface. The regenerability and reusability study illustrated that only deionized water can completely regenerate the Oxi-CC and that the Oxi-CC can be reused for five cycles without any loss of performance. The high maximum adsorption capacity of Dubinin–Radushkevich isotherm model (252 mg/g), ease of separation and regeneration, and maintaining the adsorption capacity for several cycles revealed the high efficiency and economical and environmental feasibility of Oxi-CC as an adsorbent for BTR.

“…7 show the results from the study of the adsorption characteristics of the biochar, which were obtained using two different agricultural pesticides, a) fentin acetate and b) cypermethrin. The purpose of the study was to evaluate how effectively the biochar would remove the recalcitrant pesticide from the effects of agricultural run-off [3] . The results show that all three sources of biochar demonstrated effective adsorption capacity in a 24-hour adsorption study, based on an initial pesticide concentration of 10 mg/L.…”

“…The rapid industrialization and modernization of transport infrastructure and the urbanization of countries have resulted in increased air pollution, with subsequent environmental impacts [ 30 ]. This occurs through the discharge of harmful compounds (gaseous, liquid, and solid) such as CO 2 [ 31 ], CH 4 [ 32 ] heavy metals [ 33 ], dyes [ 34 ], pesticides [ 35 ], and many other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment [ 33 ]. Release of these harmful pollutants not only damages the surrounding environment through water contamination, air pollution, global warming, and depletion of the ozone layer but also effects human health directly [ 21 ].…”

Graphene is fundamentally a two-dimensional material with extraordinary optical, thermal, mechanical, and electrical characteristics. It has a versatile surface chemistry and large surface area. It is a carbon nanomaterial, which comprises sp2 hybridized carbon atoms placed in a hexagonal lattice with one-atom thickness, giving it a two-dimensional structure. A large number of synthesis techniques including epitaxial growth, liquid phase exfoliation, electrochemical exfoliation, mechanical exfoliation, and chemical vapor deposition are used for the synthesis of graphene. Graphene prepared using different techniques can have a number of benefits and deficiencies depending on its application. This study provides a summary of graphene preparation techniques and critically assesses the use of graphene, its derivates, and composites in environmental applications. These applications include the use of graphene as membrane material for the detoxication and purification of water, active material for gas sensing, heavy metal ions detection, and CO2 conversion. Furthermore, a trend analysis of both synthesis techniques and environmental applications of graphene has been performed by extracting and analyzing Scopus data from the past ten years. Finally, conclusions and outlook are provided to address the residual challenges related to the synthesis of the material and its use for environmental applications.
