Acrylic acid functionalized graphene oxide: High-efficient removal of cationic dyes from wastewater and exploration on adsorption mechanism
Abstract
A novel p(AA)-g-GO material was prepared by grafting polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) onto graphene oxide (GO) skeleton, presenting efficient removal of dyes from wastewater, because the layer spacing of GO is expanded and successfully introduced numerous polar carboxyl groups. The study revealed a rapid adsorption kinetic process and the adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) increases with pH, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature. The maximum adsorption capacity is about 1448.2 mg/g at 25 °C for MB according to the Langmuir isotherm. More importantly, the adsorbent maintains excellent adsorption capacity after five cycles of adsorption-desorption and has remarkable selective separability for methylene blue/methyl orange mixed solution at pH = 10. Furthermore, the equilibrium adsorption capacities for other cationic dyes as malachite green (MG), basic fuchsin (BF) and rhodamine B (RhB) reached 582.1, 571.7 and 437.1 mg/g, respectively. Additionally, the mechanism analysis indicated that electrostatic interactions, π-π conjugation and hydrogen bonding are the predominant forces for adsorbing cationic dyes. Therefore, p(AA)-g-GO is an outstanding adsorbent and has a potential application prospect in the treatment of dye wastewater.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
