摘要
A simple solvothermal method was used to prepare monodisperse magnetite （Fe304） nanoparticles attached onto graphene oxide （GO） sheets as adsorbents to remove tetrabromobisphenol A （TBBPA） from an aqueous solution. These Fe304/GO （MGO） nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The adsorption capacity at different initial pH, contact duration, and temperature were evaluated. The kinetics of adsorption was found to fit the pseudo-second-order model perfectly. The adsorption isotherm well fitted the Langmuir model, and the theoretical maximum of adsorption capacity calculated by the Langmuir model was 27.26 mg ·g^-1 The adsorption thermodynamics of TBBPA on the MGO nanocomposites was determined at 303K, 313K, and 323 K, respectively. The results indicated that the adsorp- tion was spontaneous and endothermic. The MGO nanocomposites were conveniently separated from the media by an extemal magnetic field within several seconds, and then regenerated in 0.2 M NaOH solution. Thus, the MGO nanocomposites are a promising candidate for TBBPA removal from wastewater.
