2D Carbons and nanocarbons for environmental remediation and nanofiltration are of paramount importance for water treatment solutions in agriculture.
Here, we will present our technology to drill nanopores in graphene flakes and form them into in-wide scalable and continuous graphene membranes for nanofiltration with 1-2 nm pore size, to reduce metal ion concentrations to few parts-per-million at differential pressures as low as 30 kPa, outperforming existing systems with comparable flow rates. next, we will present a thorough of carbon nano-particles derived from different parts of the cannabis plant (hurd and bast) and their ability to adsorb polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PHs) in aqueous environment. The goal is to establish a structure-function relationship between synthesis parameters and ability of to promote PH adhesion at their surface via pi-pi electron stacking. Collectively, our study demonstrates the importance of advanced nanoporous 2D carbon materials and nanomaterials for advanced remediation and water treatment in agriculture. |
