Mine water pollution is a serious problem in China and has caused certain impacts on human health, water and soil. This paper talks about the applications of nanotechnology in treating copper ions in mine water, which have advantages over the traditional methods, and discusses two potential nanomaterials-graphene and zinc oxide nanoparticles based on references. The authors describe the concepts, synthesized methods, and advantages of each material. After researching, the literature revealed attractive prospects for removing copper ions from mine water using carbon nanomaterials, including the benefits of using carbon nanomaterials to adsorb copper ions, the introduction of graphene and graphene oxide, and some synthesized methods of graphene and its derivatives. In addition, the eco-friendly synthesized process of zinc oxide nanoparticles, the great performance of the absorption capacity on Cu ions, and its fundamental function in the synthesis of various nanomaterials contribute to the promising prospect of ZnO nanoparticles.References
