What is an efficient way to cleanse graphene oxide?

David Bortin  Follow

What exactly do you want to know - how to get rid of it?

There is a detox protocol for Graphene Oxide (Hydroxide) - which i had the honor to translate for a German doctor - i.e. into English - would you need that one? - Here nobody can send that - Word and PDF are not supported by Quora - neither here in the text nor in the messenger - if you wish to get that - you might be on Telegram - there it is spread in the channels.

Happy Travels!

The reduction of graphene oxide (GO) by phytochemicals was investigated using aqueous leaf extracts of Colocasia esculenta and Mesua ferrea Linn. and an aqueous peel extract of orange (Citrus sinensis). The prepared GO and phytoextract reduced GO (RGO) were characterized by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared analyses to provide a clear indication of the removal of oxygen-containing groups from the graphene and the formation of RGO. The extent of reduction was determined from elemental analysis. Formation of few layers of graphene was indicated by transmission electron microscopy. The obtained RGO exhibited good specific capacitance (17–21 Fg−1), high electrical conductivity (3032.6–4006 Sm−1) and high carbon to oxygen ratio (5.97–7.11).

There is no graphene oxide in any of the vaccines. This is tripe.

How can I tell? With my eyes.

Here is what two and a half thousandths of a gramme of graphene oxide in a teaspoonful of clear liquid looks like:

Maybe you will find a clue here… Graphine oxides are reduced chemically >

Usually, GO can be washed using HCl and DI water with vacuum filtration. When the degree of oxidation of GO is high, GO present very good hydrophilicity, vacuum filtration may could not drew water out from GO suspension. In this condition, we used centrifuge to remove the acid solution

Graphene is a very expensive form of carbon. After water, you are made mostly of carbon. Chillax.

The first thing is to make some. Graphene oxide is either carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. The latter is readily soluble in sodium hydroxide, yielding a white precipitate .

Carbon monoxide can be converted to carbon dioxide by burning in air, then removed as above.

Unless you mean graphene sheets with modest inclusions of oxygen atoms, sometimes used in electronics? One would need to know what the contaminent was, and use an appropriate solvent.

Or do you mean Graphene oxide as a woo woo name of some imaginary substance. All woo woo chemicals have the same chemistry .. as they are fiction, you can choose. The merit of fiction.
