Abstract:
Microwave (MW) accelerated synthesis combined with microfiltration (MF) on commercial hollow fiber modules enables fast and scalable preparation of highly pure modified graphene oxide nanosheets. The MW-MF procedure is demonstrated on polyethylenimine (PEI) modified GO, and the so-obtained GOPEI is used for simultaneous removal of arsenic and lead from water.
