Abstract
This review examines the novel application of graphene derived from biomass in wastewater treatment. This study explores the synthesis methods and structural characteristics of graphene produced from biomass sources by examining the complex mechanisms involved in its production and properties. This study also illuminates the potential of using graphene derived from biomass as a catalyst for improving wastewater treatment technologies. The main objective is to clarify the exceptional effectiveness of graphene derived from biomass and its crucial role in promoting a more sustainable and healthier environment in the process of treating wastewater. This emphasizes its ability to adsorb, catalyze, and remove pollutants. The review explores the wide range of uses of this innovative material in tackling different pollutants in wastewater, highlighting its capacity as a sustainable and efficient method for environmental cleansing.
期刊介绍:
Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology is the official journal of the International Society of Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology (ISBAB). The journal publishes high quality articles especially in the science and technology of biocatalysis, bioprocesses, agricultural biotechnology, biomedical biotechnology, and, if appropriate, from other related areas of biotechnology. The journal will publish peer-reviewed basic and applied research papers, authoritative reviews, and feature articles. The scope of the journal encompasses the research, industrial, and commercial aspects of biotechnology, including the areas of: biocatalysis; bioprocesses; food and agriculture; genetic engineering; molecular biology; healthcare and pharmaceuticals; biofuels; genomics; nanotechnology; environment and biodiversity; and bioremediation.
