Abstract

The alarming level of water pollution caused by household, agricultural, industrial, and mining pollutants has prompted scientists and researchers to develop new treatment technologies. New treatment technologies and existing treatments differ primarily in terms of their efficacy based on the materials being used. In recent years, graphene and its composites have gained considerable attention for a variety of applications, including wastewater treatment. Because of the unique 2D shape of graphene and its outstanding physicochemical properties, it is an ideal substance for treating a wide range of pollutants in wastewater. This chapter describes recent trends in the application of graphene and its composites to wastewater treatment technologies, such as adsorption, membrane technology, and capacitive deionization. The synthesis, properties, applications, and separation mechanisms of graphene and composite materials for water and wastewater treatment are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects for the practical implementation of these materials are discussed.
