In the current work, novel graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-doped goethite (α-FeOOH) nanocomposites (GQDs/α-FeOOH) were prepared by following a feasible hydrolysis method and applied for ciprofloxacin (CIP) removal. Results showed that the CIP degradation efficiency was significant (93.73%, 0.0566 min−1) in the GQDs/α-FeOOH + H2O2 + Vis system using much lower amounts of H2O2 (0.50 mM),… Continue reading Photo-Fenton Degradation of Ciprofloxacin by Novel Graphene Quantum Dots/α-FeOOH Nanocomposites for the Production of Safe Drinking Water from Surface Water
Arsenite (As(III)) is less efficient removal than arsenate (As(V)) by adsorption process. Integration of pre-oxidation to convert As(III) to As(V) with simultaneous in-situ adsorption of formed As(V) would be highly desirable. In this work, a novel three-dimensional (3D) bifunctional α-FeOOH@GCA nanocomposite prepared through goethite anchored graphene oxide nanosheet (GO)-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as supporting materials for… Continue reading A bifunctional α-FeOOH@GCA nanocomposite for enhanced adsorption of arsenic and photo Fenton-like catalytic conversion of As(III)
