Abstract
[The increasing interest in the use of ozone in drinking water treatment has led to concern over the formation of ozonation by-products. Disinfection with various hypochlorite solution results in the bromate formation which is being carcinogenic tested against laboratory animal. Looking at near future, the bromate concentration level is beyond the limit of provisional water guidelines drawn by the World Health Organization. From the analysis of low dose bromate extrapolation models at an upper 95% confidence limit risk of 1 in 105 of the population, the results are life threatening. Possible control options originate from ‘design-for-purpose’ to control bromate formation or reduction scientifically. In this chapter, the potential grapheme based materials in creating next-generation and ground-breaking solutions to the water challenges of our times have been discussed. It is believed that grapheme based materials can meet water challenges in a sustainable ways.]
