Description

In this paper, adsorption potentials of U(VI) ions were investigated using graphene-based zinc oxide nanocomposites which are graphene oxide-zinc oxide (GO-ZnO) and reduced graphene oxide-zinc oxide (rGO-ZnO). Kinetic data showed that processes could be simulated with pseudo-second-order with high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.99). Experimental results of equilibrium adsorption results show that Langmuir fits the data better. The maximum sorption capacities of GO-ZnO at pH 5.0 was 476.19 mg/g, and rGO-ZnO at pH 5.5 was 256.41 mg/g at 298 K. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption of U(VI) on GO-ZnO and rGO-ZnO are spontaneous and endothermic. (author)
