Graphene-Based Materials as Adsorbents for Wastewater Decontamination (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book aims at providing a fundamental grasp of graphene-based materials (GAMs) concerning their adsorption process. The effect of diverse process parameters, including pH, temp., agitation, competing ions, etc., on the adsorption performance of GAMs as well as their recent and relevant applications in biomedical fields, are discussed.
