“…The EDX spectra of the studied surfaces were recorded by figures (8 ) and ( 9), From figure ( 8 ) show the several peaks of elements (Ru, Al, C, Si, O, Se, Fe, Ba, Co) in the spectrum analysis of the elements of the attapulgite clay but after the activation and modification of the carphene oxide sheets This led to a reduction in the weight ratios of most elements and some of them to zero such as (Co, Se),While the increase in the ratio of oxygen (5.6-6.2) and carbon ( 6.5-12.8 ), which confirms the occurrence of the process of modification of the graphene oxide, as shown in Figure (9) shows that several peaks of Ru, Al, C, Si, O, Fe, Ba), within the spectrum of elemental analysis of the attapulgite clay after activation and modification .
