Graphene oxide for heavy metal pollution control
Heavy metals generally refer to more than 60 elements with a density of more than 4 or 45 elements with a density of more than 5. However, because the toxicity of different heavy metals in water and soil is very different, in the field of environmental science, people usually pay attention to vanadium, chromium and nickel. , cobalt, copper, zinc, cadmium, tin, mercury, lead and other metal ions. Heavy metal ions can accumulate in the human body and lead to poisoning, cancer and damage to the nervous system, so it is particularly important to do a good job of heavy metal pollution control. Graphene oxide is a carbon nano material prepared from natural graphite with a structure similar to carbon nanotubes . Compared with the adsorption capacity of activated carbon, carbon nanotubes and graphene materials for low-concentration lead-containing wastewater, the adsorption capacity of graphene oxide for lead is as high as 800 mg/g, which is much higher than that of activated car...
