The present research investigates the ability of graphene oxide nanosheets for treatment of dairy wastewater, using In Situ Sludge Magnetic Impregnation” (ISSMI) to separate sludge after adsorption process. To increase the interaction between magnetic nanoparticles and graphene oxide, the former has been functionalized, using 3-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane, with the synthesized graphene oxide an...

terms and conditions of current drinking water quality standards, including reducing the maximum arsenic concentration from 50 μgl-1 to 10 μgl-1 and predicted stricter standards in future, reveals the necessity for development of new technologies. this study aimed to prepare and evaluate a new nanocomposite membrane using graphene oxide (go) thin layer to remove arsenic (v) from water. to fabri...

Most people think of graphene as a flat membrane and the quality of physics observation depends on the flatness of it. However defective or strained graphene can present interesting properties, especially to a chemist. For example, generating pores or voids in graphene, oxidizing and disrupting the conjugation, as in the case of nanoporous graphene oxide, can generate a material that is catalyt...

Membranes with atomic level pores or constrictions are valuable for separation and catalysis. We report a graphene-based membrane with an interlayer spacing of 3.7 angstrom (Å). When graphene oxide nanoplates are functionalized and then reduced, the laminated reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoplates or functionalized rGO membrane is little affected by an intercalated fluid, and the interlayer sp...

The reduced form of graphene oxide (GO) is an attractive alternative to graphene for producing large-scale flexible conductors and for creating devices that require an electronic gap. We report on a means to tune the topographical and electrical properties of reduced GO (rGO) with nanoscopic resolution by local thermal reduction of GO with a heated atomic force microscope tip. The rGO regions a...

Graphene oxide (GO) film was evaporated onto graphite and used as an electrode to produce electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) films by electrochemical reduction in 6 M KOH solution through voltammetric cycling. Fourier transformed infrared and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of ERGO. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy characterization of ERGO and GO films in ferrocyani...

Microwave-assisted heating method is used to treat graphite oxide (GO), pyrolytic graphene oxide (PGO) and hydrogen-reduced pyrolytic graphene oxide (HPGO). Pure or doped graphene are prepared in the time of minutes and a thermal deoxygenization reduction mechanism is proposed to understand their microwave adsorption behaviors. These carbon materials are excellent catalysts in the reduction of ...

abstract in this work, fe3o4-graphene oxide nanocomposite (go-fe3o4) was prepared as effective absorbent for magnetic solid phase extraction (mspe) of trace quantities of cadmium ions in environmental water and rice samples using 1, 2-dihydroxy anthraquinone-3-sulphonic acid, sodium salt (alizarin red s) and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas). the   go-fe3o4 was characterized by scanni...

We developed a new method for fabricating reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/Fe-oxide structures from graphene oxide (GO), and for the simultaneous vertical alignment of the RGOs using a single-step process that involves a magnetic field and the fixation of the aligned structures by means of direct evaporation of the films.
