Graphene powder removed several different EDCs to fairly similar
extents, and together with the removal of different dyes
reported in the literature, graphene can be counted among carbonaceous
sorbents universally applicable among many classes of
organic compounds. We expect graphene powders, like GAC and
CNTs, to also readily sorb other dissolved solutes including natural
organic matter, and a broader investigation of sorption ability with
respect to water chemistry is needed. The fundamental descriptions
of sorption behavior here may support the incorporation of
graphene materials in water treatment applications, such as their
use in batch reactors or coatings for filtration membranes
