Graphene oxide–chitosan composite hydrogels as broad-spectrum adsorbents for water purification

Chen, Yunqiang, Chen, Libin, Bai, Hua, Li, Lei·2013·J. Mater. Chem. A

Abstract

Water pollution is one of the most pervasive problems afflicting people throughout the world, while adsorption is the most widely used method to remove the contaminants from water. Here, in this paper, we report an eco-friendly graphene oxide–chitosan (GO–CS) hydrogel as a new type of adsorbent for water purification. The GO–CS hydrogels were prepared via self-assembly of GO sheets and CS chains. A three-dimensional network composed of GO sheets crosslinked by CS was found in GO–CS hydrogels. The GO–CS composite hydrogels showed high adsorption capacity towards different contaminants, including cationic and anionic dyes, as well as heavy metal ions. The mechanism of the dye adsorption was investigated with a spectral method, and an electrostatic interaction was found to be the major interaction between ionic dyes and the hydrogel. The influence of the hydrogel composition on the adsorption capacity towards different adsorbates was also studied. Finally, it was demonstrated that the GO–CS hydrogel can be used as column packing, to fabricate a column for water purification by filtration.

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.
