| Research Abstract |
Though activated carbons (ACs) have been widely employed to remove pollutants in aqueous phase in industrial scale, the relationship between surface chemistry of AC and adsorption ability onto AC is not well understood. In the present study, influence of surface nature on the adsorptive removal of organic and inorganic pollutants in water was examined and introducing oxygen and nitrogen atoms at the edge of grapheme sheets resulted in an effective surface for the heavy metal removal from contaminated water even in the acidic solutions.
