Abstract

• In this research, a suitable methodology was introduced to synthesize of graphenic material on sand as graphenic material coated sand composite (GSC). Graphenic material was prepared from sugar and normal sand as a media of adhesion in order to produce graphenic material coated sand media which is well known as graphenic material coated sand composite (GSC). GSC was used to remove lead from lead solution. Physical and chemical tests were carried out for water purification applications. Structural properties of the obtained composites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology studied of GSC was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And then residual lead concentration of the lead solution after filtration process were observed by using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The current study reveals the importance of water purification application using GSC.
