Abstract
Water pollution, which is an increasing global concern, is one of the significant environmental problems which damage economic growth and the health of billions of people. Therefore, many companies and investigators make an effort to prepare a reusable and cost-effective filter to overcome the problem of water shortages. In this study, we have investigated two adsorbents with high adsorption capacity: a graphene quantum dot-based composite and a carbon-cage adsorbent prepared only with graphite and hydrazinium azide that are expanded through an electrical heater. Both adsorbents were able to remove almost 100% of the methylene blue dye, which is widely used in the textile industry. Adsorption rates and morphology of adsorbents were analyzed with XRD, SEM, EDS, TGA and UV spectrometry measurements.
期刊介绍:
Main Group Chemistry is intended to be a primary resource for all chemistry, engineering, biological, and materials researchers in both academia and in industry with an interest in the elements from the groups 1, 2, 12–18, lanthanides and actinides. The journal is committed to maintaining a high standard for its publications. This will be ensured by a rigorous peer-review process with most articles being reviewed by at least one editorial board member. Additionally, all manuscripts will be proofread and corrected by a dedicated copy editor located at the University of Kentucky.
