The application of graphene-based materials for the removal of heavy metals and radionuclides from water and wastewater
Abstract
Graphene-based materials have been extensively employed for the removal of heavy metals and radionuclides from water and wastewater. This work critically reviews the current status of research works on the use of graphene, as well as its modified materials, and their efficacy for the adsorption of heavy metals and radionuclides. It focuses on the examination of different factors influencing the adsorption capacity, including the properties of graphene-based materials, solution pH, contact time, initial concentration of metal ions, initial dosage of graphene-based materials, temperature, organic acid ligands, coexisting ions, and competitive adsorption. Adsorption dynamics, isotherms, and thermodynamics are addressed in some detail. The proposed adsorption mechanisms deduced by various characterization methods and analytical techniques involve in one or combination of the electrostatic interaction, surface complexation, ion exchange, reduction, and precipitation. Many graphene-based materials have proved to be stable and regenerable over a number of adsorption–desorption cycles. Further research trends on the practical application of graphene-based materials are also given.

“…of Langmuir isotherm model as illustrated in Table 11, the RL value suggests the adsorption nature to be either unfavorable (RL > 1), linear (RL D 1), favorable (0 RL 1), or irreversible (RL D 0), and the lower RL value indicates that the adsorption is more favorable (Foo and Hameed, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
