Abstract

Heavy metal-contaminated water has become a great challenge for aquatic ecosystems. Herein, a versatile composite (IRC 748-GO) adsorbent was prepared by modifying graphene oxide (GO) with Amberlite IRC 748 resin. The batch and dynamic adsorption experiments of Cu2+ on the IRC 748-GO composite were conducted, and the results showed that the novel adsorbents have a high adsorption capacity compared to the pristine GO. The adsorption process was consistent with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the equilibrium data were well fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum uptake of Cu2+ was 127.22 mg/g. The adsorption mechanism was investigated using FT-IR, SEM, XPS, and adsorption isotherms, which revealed that the carboxyl groups in IRC 748-GO composite could effectively chelate Cu2+. Overall, the IRC 748-GO composite exhibited important advantages such as great specific surface area and stability, as well as high adsorption capacity, which provides broad application prospects for efficiently remediating wastewater containing heavy metals.

摘要

重金属污染已成为水生生态系统面临的巨大挑战。本文采用Amberlite IRC 748 树脂对氧化石墨 烯(GO)进行改性,制备了一种多功能复合吸附材料(IRC 748-GO)。通过静态吸附和动态吸附实验考察 了IRC 748-GO 复合材料对Cu2+ 离子的吸附行为,结果表明该吸附过程符合准二级动力学模型和 Langmuir 模型,Cu2+ 的饱和吸附量达到127.22 mg/g,IRC 748-GO 复合材料对Cu2+ 的吸附能力**于氧化 石墨烯。采用FT-IR、SEM、XPS 和吸附等温线测定分析了吸附机理,结果表明IRC 748-GO 复合材料 中的羧基能有效螯合Cu2+ 离子。IRC 748-GO 复合材料具有比表面积大、稳定性好、吸附能力**等特 点,可用于重金属废水处理。
