In this study, a ternary nanocomposite comprising graphene oxide and carbon loaded with zero‐valent iron nanoparticles was developed as a promising nanoadsorbent, especially for polyphenols available in food industry by‐products. The fabricated nanoadsorbents were characterized in terms of structural, morphological, and chemical attributes. Zero‐valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) were produced by a modified method leading to the formation of nanoparticles below 50 nm. Also, active carbon was transformed to a needle‐like shape instead of its native shape so that the active surface area was drastically increased which favors the higher adsorption process. Moreover, the space between graphene oxide sheets was enhanced by ultrasonication so that more active carbon and nZVIs could be oriented between these sheets. Finally, the FTIR and Raman data demonstrated the formation of O‐H stretching groups and a D/G value of 0.85 corresponding to the maintenance of a desired structure of the graphene oxide sheets, respectively. To summarize, the developed nanocomposites can be employed as a promising tool for the adsorbance of food and beverage industry by‐products, especially polyphenols.
