Abstract

Wastewater treatment is a crucial problem over the many eras because of urbanization and industrialization which increase the effluents discarded to the environment. Now, a variety of functional materials have been synthesized for wastewater remediation. Among them all, graphene is an important and attractive agent because of its high specific surface area, strength, and tunable surface behavior. This chapter will summarize graphene-based nanomaterial's employment for wastewater remediation, like removal of organic dyes, heavy metals, and other pollutants (antibiotics and oil spills). The development made so far will lead to further growth in structure design approach of graphene-based porous nanomaterials and investigation of such nanomaterials for protection of the environment.
