Monitoring of Removal of Organochlorine/Fluorine Pesticides from Water Using Graphene Composites by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

Three nanoparticles’ materials are prepared, characterized and their performance was evaluated for efficient removal of five organochlorine, one organofluorine and six different kinds of bacteria. Gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy have been used to monitor the pesticides concentration before and after treatment by these prepared materials. Graphene gives the most efficient removal of these pesticides than graphene–silver composite but the later is more efficient for remediation of water contaminated with different kinds of bacteria.
