Removal of Sr (II) from aqueous solution using reduced graphene oxide
Description
In this work, graphene oxide was synthesized by modified Hummer's method and reduced to RGO using ascorbic acid as a reducing agent and further applied in strontium removal from aqueous solution. The effect of different pH on adsorption capacity were investigated keeping other parameters such as adsorbent dosage, contact time and temperature constant. Concentration of Sr (II) after removal experiment was detected using ICP-OES. The experimental results indicated that the adsorption of strontium (II) by reduced graphene oxide was pH dependent process. The adsorption of Sr+2 increases with increasing pH from 7 to 12. The maximum removal efficiency (upto 99%) achieved within 2 h. This reveals that RGO is a promising material in strontium removal from contaminated radioactive wastewater. (author)
