Graphene oxide (GO) enhances the performance of cement-based materials by optimizing the microstructure of calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H). However, the influence of GO on the nucleation and growth of C-S-H gel at nanoscale is unexplored. This study investigates this mechanism by molecular dynamics simulation at nano scale.

In order to solve the problem of the low treatment efficiency of wastewater containing heavy metals in mining areas, straw biochar and graphene oxide enhanced external pressure ultrafiltration (SGU) was used to treat wastewater containing high concentrations of Pb. The operation parameters such as pH and temperature were optimized, and the removal efficiency of COD, NH-N, turbidity and Pb via SGU, straw biochar ultrafiltration (SU), ultrafiltration (UF), and conventional treatment (CT) were systematically investigated. The results showed that the pH and temperature of polluted water were 4.

The addition of nanoparticles in amine solutions to produce a stable amine-based nanofluid provides a high surface area for absorption and improves the absorption rate. In this work, nanofluids were prepared by dispersing graphene oxide (GO) in monoethanolamine (MEA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) solutions for adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO) to further improve their absorption performance by providing more reaction sites on the GO framework. GO was synthesized using the modified Hummers method and characterized for physicochemical properties using SEM, EDS, FTIR, Raman analysis, and TGA.
