Abstract

Graphene based composites have various applications in the modern world. In which synthesis of effective composite suitable for applications is a challenging task. One among the application area of graphene composite is in wastewater treatment. Water pollution is now a days consider to be a major global health and environmental issue affecting all ecosystems as well as life forms. While considering pollution the most dominant in creating pollution is found to be the industries and factories. Saying about the industries the available facilities in the water treatment is found to be the major challenges in treating of polluted water caused by heavy metals and dyes. In factories, only lower stage of wastewater treatment is alone found to be available. Some of the industries they are installing economical based treatment plant to manage the government policies and not following the pollutant removal completely. In such case, lower level pollutants alone found to be removed and higher-level hazardous metals and dyes are found to be not removed generally. To overcome such situation and support industries as well as factories introduction of economical adsorbent to remove the waste is the major proposal. This paper discusses various graphene-based adsorbents persisting in the removal of dye and heavy metals as well as synthesis of efficient Composite.
