Graphene Extraction from Waste: A Sustainable Synthesis Approach for Graphene and Its Derivatives

Graphene Extraction from Waste: A Sustainable Synthesis Approach for Graphene and its Derivatives introduces readers to strategies of graphene extraction from waste, an important advance in graphene material development to support the low-cost and large-scale production of this valuable material. The book compares the various green synthesis routes for graphene materials and its derivatives, with a view on environmental consequences, cost-effectiveness, scalability, possible health hazards and toxicity. Other sections discuss different categories of waste, such as plastic waste, agricultural waste and household waste and the specific considerations of deriving graphene from these sources.Throughout the book, attention is paid to the potential applications of graphene-derived from waste, including challenges and emerging strategies. The book is suitable for researchers and practitioners in research and development in industry who work in the disciplines of materials science and engineering, green chemistry and sustainability.
