Abstract

Graphene oxide/Fe(3)O(4) (GO/Fe(3)O(4)) composites were synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The removal of Cu(II) and a natural organic macromolecule (fulvic acid (FA)) by GO/Fe(3)O(4) was investigated. The mutual effects of FA/Cu(II) on Cu(II) and FA sorption onto GO/Fe(3)O(4), as well as the effect of pH, ionic strength, FA/Cu(II) concentrations, and the addition sequences of FA/Cu(II) were examined. The results indicated that Cu(II) sorption on GO/Fe(3)O(4) were strongly dependent on pH and independent of ionic strength, indicating that the sorption was mainly dominated by inner-sphere surface complexation rather than outer-sphere surface complexation or ion exchange. The presence of FA leads to a strong increase in Cu(II) sorption at low pH and a decrease at high pH, whereas the presence of Cu(II) led to an increase in FA sorption. The adsorbed FA contributes to the modification of sorbent surface properties and partial complexation of Cu(II) with FA adsorbed. Different effects of FA/Cu(II) concentrations and addition sequences on Cu(II) and FA sorption were observed, indicating the difference in sorption mechanisms. After GO/Fe(3)O(4) adsorbed FA, the sorption capacity for Cu(II) was enhanced at pH 5.3, and the sorption capacity for FA was also enhanced after Cu(II) sorption on GO/Fe(3)O(4). These results are important for estimating and optimizing the removal of metal ions and organic substances by GO/Fe(3)O(4) composites.

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.
