MIL-53(Al)-graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites of different GO to MIL-53(Al) mass ratios (1% to 25% GO) were synthesized and tested for removal of arsenite (As(III)), which is a well-known groundwater contaminant. The properties of MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measurements, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Batch experiments were performed on MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites for As(III) adsorption in aqueous solutions to investigate adsorption kinetics and isotherm behavior under varying environmental conditions. The effects of solution pH (2 to 11), initial As(III) concentrations (10⁻110 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.2⁻3.0 g/L), and temperature (298⁻318 K) on As(III) adsorption were investigated. MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposites showed higher adsorption of As(III) than pristine MIL-53(Al) and GO individually. As (III) removal was optimized at a ratio of 3% GO in the MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite, with an adsorption capacity of 65 mg/g. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir isotherm models, respectively. Overall, these results suggest that MIL-53(Al)-GO nanocomposite holds a significant promise for use in the remediation of As (III) from groundwater and other aqueous solutions.
合成了不同氧化石墨烯(GO)与MIL-53(Al)质量比(1%至25% GO)的MIL-53(Al)-氧化石墨烯(GO)纳米复合材料,并测试了其对亚砷酸盐(As(III))的去除效果,亚砷酸盐是一种众所周知的地下水污染物。使用X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱、布鲁诺尔-埃米特-特勒(BET)表面积测量和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对MIL-53(Al)-GO纳米复合材料的性能进行了表征。对MIL-53(Al)-GO纳米复合材料进行了批量实验,以研究其在水溶液中对As(III)的吸附动力学和等温线行为,考察了溶液pH值(2至11)、初始As(III)浓度(10⁻110 mg/L)、吸附剂用量(0.2⁻3.0 g/L)和温度(298⁻318 K)对As(III)吸附的影响。MIL-53(Al)-GO纳米复合材料对As(III)的吸附量高于单独的原始MIL-53(Al)和GO。在MIL-53(Al)-GO纳米复合材料中,当GO的比例为3%时,As(III)的去除效果最佳,吸附容量为65 mg/g。吸附动力学和等温线分别遵循准二级和朗缪尔等温线模型。总体而言,这些结果表明,MIL-53(Al)-GO纳米复合材料在从地下水和其他水溶液中修复As(III)方面具有巨大的应用前景。
