Incorporation of Activated Carbon and Graphene composition for waste water treatment

Abstract: A modern day running with technology, but concern towards sustainable environment is very poor. This perspective paper is with enriched content of water treatment suitable to the study area of the campus of KG Reddy College of Engineering and Technology, Hyderabad. This study aims to spread the light on the concept of sustainable water treatment materials for waste water generated in the campus like canteen waste water and washroom waste water. Activated carbon, Graphene materials and its composition are blowing sound wave interest in the field of water treatment because of its good adsorption capacity and low cost availability. This study mainly focuses on composite treatment materials by considering activated carbon and graphene as the best composition. As per literature survey, we found both materials having good adsorption capacity, by studying both material physical and chemical characteristics the study perspective introduced the new methodology with graphene and activated carbon composition by keeping literatures as evidence. The study also helps to design the low cost water filtration and this paper highlights the prime considered waste water characteristics which plays a major role in the water treatment process.

Keywords: Activated carbon, adsorption, Graphene, and pollutants.
