Surface functional groups of carbon-based adsorbents and their roles in the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions : A critical review

Carbon-based adsorbents such as graphene and its derivatives, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon, and biochar are often used to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. One of the important aspects of effective carbon adsorbents for heavy metals is their tunable surface functional groups. To prom...
