Abstract
Dyes contamination has long been an intractable water pollution problem that has puzzled researchers. Nubbly γ-AlOOH particles consisted of several flakes were in-situ decorated onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via an in-situ microwave-assisted hydrothermal method for removal of methylene blue (MB) in this work. The structure and composition of resulting γ-AlOOH/rGO nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman, SEM, EDS, XPS and BET. The adsorption behavior of γ-AlOOH/rGO towards MB could be described by the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir model satisfactorily. The maximal adsorption capacity for MB was estimated to be 487.804 mg/g by Langmuir model. The concerning adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous according to the thermodynamic study. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, π-π interaction and van der Waals force together constitute the possible adsorption mechanism. The γ-AlOOH/rGO also had good recycling performance, which make it a potential adsorbent for dye removal in sewage treatment.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
