Removal of oxytetracycline by graphene oxide and Boron-doped reduced graphene oxide: A combined density function Theory, molecular dynamics simulation and experimental study

Graphene-based nanomaterials have demonstrated great potential in the field of environmental applications, especially on water treatment processes. Accordingly, herein, in order to be used as adsorbent in the removal of oxytetracycline (OTC), graphene oxide (GO) and boron doped reduced graphene oxide (B-rGO) was investigated. GO was obtained through the oxidation/exfoliation process using the modified Hummers’ Method and further etched by a...
