Graphene oxide (GO) was heavily used in the adsorption process of various heavy metal ions (such as copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) ions), resulting in a huge waste quantity of graphene oxide@metal ions complex. In this research, the authors try to solve this issue. Herein, the GO surface was loaded with divalent (Cu) and trivalent (Fe) heavy metal ions as a simulated waste of the heavy metal in various removal processes to form GO@Cu and (GO@Fe) composites, respectively. After that, the previous nanocomposites were used to remove cationic methylene blue (MB) dye. The prepared composites were characterized with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), transition electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transmission infrared (FTIR), Raman, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS) before and after the adsorption process. Various adsorption factors of the two composites towards MB-dye were investigated. Based on the adsorption isotherm information, the adsorption process of MB-dye is highly fitted with the Langmuir model with maximum capacities (mg g) (384.62, GO@Cu) and (217.39, GO@Fe). According to the thermodynamic analysis, the adsorption reaction of MB-species over the GO@Cu is exothermic and, in the case of GO@Fe, is endothermic. Moreover, the two composites presented excellent selectivity of adsorption of the MB-dye from the MB/MO mixture.
氧化石墨烯(GO)在各种重金属离子(如铜(Cu)和铁(Fe)离子)的吸附过程中被大量使用,导致产生大量氧化石墨烯@金属离子复合物的废弃物。在本研究中,作者试图解决这个问题。在此,在GO表面负载二价(Cu)和三价(Fe)重金属离子,作为各种去除过程中重金属的模拟废弃物,分别形成GO@Cu和(GO@Fe)复合材料。之后,用先前制备的纳米复合材料去除阳离子亚甲基蓝(MB)染料。在吸附过程前后,用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉曼光谱和能量色散X射线光谱(EDS)对制备的复合材料进行表征。研究了两种复合材料对MB染料的各种吸附因素。根据吸附等温线信息,MB染料的吸附过程与朗缪尔模型高度拟合,最大吸附容量(mg/g)分别为(384.62,GO@Cu)和(217.39,GO@Fe)。根据热力学分析,MB在GO@Cu上的吸附反应是放热的,而在GO@Fe上的吸附反应是吸热的。此外,两种复合材料对MB/MO混合物中的MB染料表现出优异的吸附选择性。
