Abstract

Bisphenol A is a chemical disrupting compounds and it has been reported that bisphenol A can lead to birth defects, cancer tumors, cardiovascular disorders even at very low concentrations. The main source of bisphenol A was identified in environmental water. Therefore, highly efficient systems are urgently needed. Recently, graphene-based materials can be used as a good adsorbent for aromatic compounds especially bisphenol A. In this chapter, we investigate recent development for the preparation of graphene nanocomposites as a potent candidate for the removal of the bisphenol A from water. Different functional groups loaded on graphene nanocomposite including polymer, β-cyclodextrin, magnetic, and inorganic nanoparticles are investigated. The mechanism of the adsorption in the main of the graphene nanocomposites is determined π-π interaction driving force for the adsorption and removal of the bisphenol A. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
