Application of Carbon-Based Nanocomposite Materials for Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Water is a vital component of life. It is naturally available as earth hydrosphere and plays an important role in the world economy, and it essential for balancing of the ecosystem. Numerous microbes and other toxins such as chemicals and heavy metals are integrated into rainwater and flowing water, resulting in water pollution. This chapter examines the numerous ways in which nanomaterials can be used to remove various kinds of contaminants from polluted water. In this chapter, carbon-based adsorbents material, that is, carbonaceous materials, has described. Carbonaceous materials such as stimulated carbon, carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide have good performance and high adsorption value for medicinal active chemicals. In present-day investigations, researchers have found that carbon-based nanomaterials have been located progressively being applied in recycling of wastewater treatment research with overwhelmingly positive results.

Liquid–liquid phase reaction between crystal violet and sodium hydroxide: kinetic study and precipitate analysis

“…For comparison purposes, solid CV and solid SV9 samples were analysed, with the results displayed in figure 6. The spectrum representing the untreated, solid CV contains strong peaks at approximately 1162 cm −1 , approximately 1349 cm −1 and approximately 1576 cm −1 , which correspond to C-N stretching vibration (or C-H stretching in aromatic ring), C-N stretching of aromatic tertiary amine (or C-H deformation in methyl group) and C=C stretching of the benzene ring, respectively [20][21][22][23]. The spectra of the precipitates show that most peak positions are very similar to those found in the royalsocietypublishing.org/journal/rsos R. Soc.…”
