Preparation of a Polyaniline-Modified Hybrid Graphene Aerogel-Like Nanocomposite for Efficient Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions from Aquatic Media.

This paper considers the synthesis of a novel nanocomposite based on reduced graphene oxide and oxidized carbon nanotubes modified with polyaniline and phenol-formaldehyde resin and developed through the carbonization of a pristine aerogel. It was tested as an efficient adsorbent to purify aquatic media from toxic Pb(II). Diagnostic assessment of the samples was carried out through X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy.

Porous material based on modified carbon and the effect of pore size distribution on the adsorption of methylene blue dye from an aqueous solution.

Carbon porous materials obtained through KOH activation of a furfural + hydroquinone + urotropine mixture were applied as adsorbent for the remediation of methylene blue (MB). The impact of porous structure with special attention to pore size distribution along with well-known pore volume and specific surface area on the remediation of MB was well investigated and elucidated. Findings obtained revealed that pore size distribution plays a crucial role in the liquid-phase adsorption of organic dyes like MB.

Polyaniline Modified CNTs and Graphene Nanocomposite for Removal of Lead and Zinc Metal Ions: Kinetics, Thermodynamics and Desorption Studies.

A novel polyaniline-modified CNT and graphene-based nanocomposite (2.32-7.34 nm) was prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods.

High-Speed and High-Capacity Removal of Methyl Orange and Malachite Green in Water Using Newly Developed Mesoporous Carbon: Kinetic and Isotherm Studies.

A novel mesoporous carbon nanostructured material was prepared and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffractometry. The material demonstrated high-speed and high-adsorption capacities of 827.5 and 2484.

Graphene based adsorbents for remediation of noxious pollutants from wastewater.

The contamination of water resources with noxious pollutants is a serious issue. Many aquatic systems are contaminated with different toxic inorganic and organic species; coming to wastewater from various anthropogenic sources such as industries, agriculture, mining, and domestic households. Keeping in view of this, wastewater treatment appears to the main environmental challenge.
