Abstract
The increase in the contamination of water systems by endocrine disruptive chemicals is of great concern once they pose risk to human and animal lives. The need for materials to adsorb these pollutants are of great concern. Graphene, a newly discovered material from the carbonaceous group, has been demonstrating interesting applications in contaminants removal from water. Therefore, this study aimed to review manuscripts regarding the adsorption capacity of herbicides and pesticides, bisphenol A, and carbamazepine from water using graphene or graphene-based materials as an adsorbent. Research of manuscripts was performed in Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, and Periódicos Capes database regarding the application of this nanomaterial in the removal of these pollutants from water. This review demonstrated that graphene itself or hybrid with other materials is very efficient in removing these contaminants, with high-efficiency rates. However, new studies can be performed to improve graphene applications and effectiveness.
