چکیده

In the present study, phosphotungstic acid decorated on magnetic amine-grafted graphene oxide (GO-Amine/Fe₃O₄/H₃PW₁₂O₄₀; GOA/Fe₃O₄/HPW) was prepared and evaluated as a new adsorbent for removal and separation of organic dyes from water. The obtained nanocomposite was fully characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, Raman, VSM, SEM, EDX, AFM and BET surface area analysis. The results demonstrated the successful loading of HPW (~34 wt.%) on the surface of magnetic aminosilanized graphene oxide. The adsorption ability of the nanocomposite was tested towards cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic methyl orange (MO) dyes. The nanocomposite exhibited very good adsorption performance for cationic organic pollutants; it could absorb approximately 100% of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution within only 5 min. The removal rate of GOA/Fe₃O₄/HPW nanocomposite was greater than that of pure GOA, Fe₃O₄ and HPW. Further study revealed that the GOA/Fe₃O₄/HPW exhibited a fast adsorption rate and selective adsorption ability towards the cationic dyes from dyes mixtures.The effect of adsorbent dosage, initial concentration of dye and pH were studied in detail. Due to the existence of the Fe₃O₄, the GOA/Fe₃O₄/HPW nanocomposite could be magnetically separated from the reaction mixture and reused without any change in structure. This research could provide a new easy platform for wastewater purification.
