Fabrication of Multi-functionalized Graphene Oxide Doped Alginate Hybrid Spheres for Enhanced Fluoride Adsorption

초록

In this current study, aminated graphene oxide (AGO) doped on alginate (Alg) matrix offers AGO@Alg hybrid spheres was developed to investigate its potential for retention of fluoride from water. The sophisticated characterization methods likely TGA, SEM, XPS and FTIR studies of AGO@Alg hybrid spheres were attained to recognize its physicochemical properties like thermal stability, morphology, elemental binding energy and functional groups determination. The responsible parameters for fluoride adsorption on AGO@Alg hybrid spheres were optimized under a batch mode to achieve improve defluoridation capacity (DC). The developed AGO@Alg hybrid spheres follow the electrostatic interaction mechanism on fluoride removal. The adsorption isotherms (Langmuir, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Fruendlich models), kinetics (reaction and diffusion based models) and thermodynamic parameters (Delta S degrees, Delta G degrees and Delta H degrees) were investigated at 303, 313 and 323 K. To minimize the cost-effectiveness of AGO@Alg hybrid spheres the reusability test was carried out. The suitability of AGO@Alg hybrid spheres was also analyzed for the fluoride contaminated field sample taken from fluoride prevalent village.
