Graphene-Based Materials Coated On Zeolite For The Removal Of Persistent Organic Pollutants From Water, Yan Zhang
Theses and Dissertations
Adsorption is a fast, low-cost and the most commonly implemented water treatment technology for the removal of multiple contaminations from ground water, drinking water or wastewater. Difficulties in removing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to improve quality and safety of treated water sources require the exploration of novel and multifunctional materials. Graphene-based materials having unique structures, high specific surface areas and tailorable functional groups are promising candidates as adsorbents.
The main goal of this work is to fabricate a novel adsorbent made of GO/rGO attached on natural zeolite substrates for the removal of variably charged organic model compounds and POPs in …

Theses and Dissertations
Clean water and energy shortage problems are pressing issues human facing today, as they not only cause many problems including public health and environmental deteriorations, but also threaten sustainable development of human society. It is urgent and critical to address and solve these problems.
Among various technologies, photocatalysis and adsorption applications in water and wastewater catch a lot of attention in recent years, for their low costs and for no requirement for chemical additives or thermal inputs. Photodegradation of contaminants by nanomaterials as catalysts is an important method in water and wastewater treatment. The adsorption is mainly through complexation between …
