Abstract

Marine oil pollution, colored counterattacks, and heavy metal ions in the water will cause serious environmental problems and threaten human health. The three-dimensional material prepared by graphene, as a new nanomaterial, has a large specific surface area and surface chemical activity. Various impurities in the water can be absorbed, which is very suitable as a water purification material. Depositing Fe3O4 and other magnetic materials on graphene three-dimensional materials can not only increase recyclability but increase hydrophobicity. Therefore, magnetic graphene three-dimensional materials have a high potential for use in water purification. This article reviews the research progress and adsorption mechanism of magnetic graphene materials for water purification. Finally, the future research prospects of magnetic graphene materials have prospected.
