Adsorption is a classical process widely used in industry and environmental protection, and the regeneration of exhausted adsorbents, as the reverse process of adsorption, is vital to achieving a sustainable adsorption process. Chemical and thermal regeneration, which feature high costs and environmental side effects, are classical but not environmentally friendly methods. Herein, a new regeneration method based on an electrochemical process using graphene aerogel (GA) as a model conductive adsorbent was proposed. First, 3D GA was prepared to adsorb organic and inorganic pollutants, avoiding the inconvenience of using powdered graphene. Then, the exhausted GA was cleaned by the electrochemical desorption and degradation of adsorbed organic pollutants if undesired and the electrorepulsion of adsorbed metal ions in the absence of any additional chemicals, showing a high processing capability of 1.21 L g GA h and low energy consumption (∼0.2 kWh m solution). The mechanisms involved in the electrochemistry-induced desorption process cover a decline in the GA adsorption performance depended on the electrochemically adjustable surface charge conditions, and the further repulsion and migration of adsorbates is subject to the strong in situ electric field. This work has important implications for the development of environmentally friendly regeneration processes and qualified adsorbents as well as the application of a green and efficient regeneration concept for traditional adsorption processes.
