Abstract
The increasing environmental pollution demands sustainable remediation materials for cleaning both air and water. In the past decade, carbon aerogels have drawn considerable interest due to their pertinent properties for environmental remediation. Properties like chemical stability, low density, high porosity, abundant pore structure, large pore volume, high specific surface area, and adaptive surface chemistry make them suitable candidates for CO2 capture, oil-water separation, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) adsorption, organic dyes pollutants, and heavy metal ion adsorption. This book chapter details the various preparation methods of carbon aerogels from activated carbon, graphene, carbon nanotube, and composite aerogel along with their applications in CO2 capture, VOC removal, oil-water separation, and heavy metal ion removal.
