Highly Efficient Fluoride Adsorption in Domestic Water with RGO/Ag Nanomaterials

Abstract

Reduced graphene oxide loaded silver (RGO/Ag) nanomaterials as a new nanocomposite film were prepared by in-situ redox method. The RGO/Ag nanomaterials were characterized by SEM, Raman spectra, XRD, UV-vis and TGA. The silver nanoparticles were well decorated and dispersed on the RGO nanosheets. Moreover, RGO/Ag nanomaterials were used to remove fluoride ion in domestic water. The influence factors including concentration of RGO/Ag, pH of water, the adsorption time and temperature on the removal rate of fluoride ion in domestic water were discussed. The results show that the removal ratio of fluoride in domestic water reaches up to 90% at the condition of 0.1g/L o RGO/Ag, 60 C and 20h of adsorption temperature and time. Our RGO/Ag nanomaterials have great potentials for water treatment toward environmental remediation, especially for water treatment.

MXene-derived TiO2/MXene-loaded Ag for the degradation of the methyl orange

“…Therefore, hydrogen peroxide plays a decisive role in photocatalytic reaction and significantly promoted the photodegradation of methyl orange. Hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2 combines with electrons to generate active-free radicals in the presence of preventing the recombination of electron hole pairs to improve the catalytic performance of photocatalytic materials and generating environmentally friendly H 2 O and CO 2 with methyl orange [41,42].…”

“…Thus, it is necessary to treat wastewater adequately with cost-effective techniques so it can be utilized for different purposes. Wastewater from industries contains various toxic chemical compounds such as metal ions, dyes, which can have detrimental effects on all life forms (Ali et al, 2019) (Lin et al, 2019) (J. Chen et al, 2018) (Xia et al, 2020) (Zhao et al, 2019) (Jadhav et al, 2020) (Yuan et al, 2020) (Wei et al, 2018).…”
