Compressed expanded graphite (CEG) was synthesized to improve upon the adsorption properties of Nyex particles. CEG was prepared by expanding and compressing Nyex particles, resulting in a higher surface area and pore volume than Nyex. This led to CEG having twice the adsorption capacity of Nyex for removing dye from wastewater. Both adsorbents showed over 100% regeneration efficiency through electrochemical regeneration and reduced power consumption compared to thermal regeneration methods. Future work involves characterizing Nyex attrition during regeneration and developing conductive polymer composites to further increase adsorption capacity.
