Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.))

Abstract

In twenty-first century the major and most concerned environmental challenge faced by the developing countries is providing pure and cost-effective water through shields and decontaminating it from pollutants. The major contaminant in water is arsenic which is seriously a threat to human health and long exposure to arsenic is responsible for causing skin lesions and hyperkeratosis. Graphene oxide and graphene are new carbonaceous nanomaterials. Graphene oxide (GO) nanomaterials have accomplished extensive advancement in effective pollution treatment due to the inherent advantages of large specific surface area, abundant functional groups and their distinctive physicochemical characteristics. Coupling of GO-based nanomaterials with other nanomaterials have been done for removal of pollutants from water. This chapter shows developments in the synthesis of graphene oxides and their composites, and focuses on its applications in the removal of arsenic from arsenic contaminated ground water. Additionally, parameters affecting the efficiency of adsorption have been discussed. Furthermore, the trials for the commercial uses are also discussed.
