Abstract
AbstractGraphene oxide (GO) nanomaterial over few decades has attracted researchers due to its various surface functional groups and its superior properties over other carbon-based nanomaterials. Graphene oxide has been intensively utilized for different environmental remediation applications, out of which wastewater treatment has been one of the main focuses. This chapter deals with the preparation of graphene oxide-based nanomaterials along with their different advanced functionalized nanocomposites. The present chapter also focuses on various applications of GO and its modified nanocomposites as adsorbents and membrane modifiers toward wastewater treatment and the removal of harmful water pollutants. Various industrial and agricultural wastewaters containing heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, and radionuclides that were treated with such advanced GO-modified nanomaterials are discussed in detail in this chapter, along with their future scope of modification and advancements for better efficiency.KeywordsGraphene oxideFunctionalization of GOWastewater treatmentDye removalHeavy metal removal
