Abstract

Nowadays, heavy metal pollution has become a serious problem. Toxic heavy metal ions can result in extreme damage to the environment and human society. Under that situation, methods that can remove the heavy metal ions in water have been required. Graphene technology can be widely applied to the removal of heavy metal ions. This article will explain the preparation of graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide and the efficiency and influence factors of the method applied in water treatment. The method can remove many kinds of mainly occurring toxic heavy metal ions with very high efficiency. Also, large-scale production of graphene oxide can be achieved. The removal of heavy metal ions in water by graphene technology can be a practical method in the water treatment field.
