Graphene-based nanomaterials for the removal of pharmaceuticals in drinking water sources

Toxicity and remediation of pharmaceuticals and pesticides using metal oxides and carbon nanomaterials

“…The pristine graphene with an ultra-high specific surface area, but no porosity, naturally repels water. So, the creation of narrow pores and the production of porous graphene allows rapid water permeation (Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy et al, 2019). The porous graphene sheets have been investigated for water filtration due to their capability to prevent the passage of pollutants but only allowing water to permeate through the filter (Ersan et al, 2017).…”

“…The porous graphene sheets have been investigated for water filtration due to their capability to prevent the passage of pollutants but only allowing water to permeate through the filter (Ersan et al, 2017). The convenient properties of porous graphene help to prepare lightweight, eco-friendly, and energyefficient water filters (Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy et al, 2019). The graphene oxides with hydrophilic functional groups are well dispersed in water and are good adsorbents in water remediation (Shanmugham et al, 2020).…”
