Adsorption behavior of magnetic triethylene tetramine-graphene oxide nanocomposite for Cu2+
A novel composite adsorbent of magnetic triethylene tetramine graphene oxide (M-T-GO) was firstly prepared by isothermal stirring and hydrothermal method to improve adsorption ability and separation efficiency of graphene oxide (GO). M-T-GO was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR)
X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM)
respectively. The pH
adsorption kinetics
isotherms and thermodynamics of Cu2+ on M-T-GO were studied
indicating that the adsorptions kinetic was well fitted by pseudo-second-order model and the equilibrium adsorption was well described with Langmuir model. The saturated adsorption capacity of Cu2+ was about 245.09 mg·g-1 on M-T-GO. M-T-GO could make separation of the adsorbents easy in the foreign magnetic field and possess good performance of regeneration. The adsorption process of Cu2+ was spontaneous and endothermic by the calculated thermodynamic parameters. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra suggested that Cu2+ was adsorbed on M-T-GO mainly through the chelation and electrostatic attraction.
