Abstract: Expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by microwave irradiation at 1000 w for 60 s. It is a novel adsorbent for Pb (Ⅱ) adsorption. This paper aims to investigate the effect of the adsorption of EG. The adsorption behavior of Pb (Ⅱ) from aqueous solution onto EG was investigated with variety of parameters such as pH, adsorbents dosage, initial Pb (Ⅱ) concentration, contact time and temperature. On conditions that the pH=6.04,the dosage of adsorbent was 0.075g, the concentration of Pb(Ⅱ) was 100mg/L and the temperature was 15°C, the maximum removal rate could reach at 86.55% .The results showed that the EG was an efficient and novel adsorbent for the removal of lead from aqueous solution. The microstructures of the resultant expanded graphite were observed by scanning electron micrographs.

Abstract: Expanded graphite (EG) was prepared by microwave irradiation at 1000 w for 60 s. It is a novel adsorbent for Sn (Ⅱ) adsorption. This paper aims to investigate the effect of the adsorption of EG. The adsorption behavior of Sn (Ⅱ) from aqueous solution onto EG was investigated with variety of parameters such as pH, adsorbents dosage, initial Sn (Ⅱ) concentration, contact time and temperature. On conditions that the pH was 2.5, the dosage of adsorbent was 0.02 g, the concentration of Sn (Ⅱ) was 200 mg/L and the temperature was 15°C, the maximum removal rate can reach to 98.32%, and the adsorption quantity can reach to 245.7985 mg•g-1. The results showed that the EG was an efficient and novel adsorbent for the removal of stannum from aqueous solution.

Abstract: A new material on adsorption of Pb(Ⅱ) was introduced in this paper. EG was modified by soaking in KOH. MEG (modified expanded graphite) was characterized by SEM, XRD and FTIR. The removal rate of Pb(Ⅱ) rose to 92.23% from 59.14% on MEG . And the adsorption quantity came up to 46.3869mg/g from 31.9662mg/g. All above shows that MEG has better adsorption performance.
