Preparation of Graphene/Fe3O4/Polypyrrole Nanocomposite and its Adsorption for Cr(VI) Ions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The novel magnetic nanocomposites have been prepared by simultaneous forming of Fe3O4 nanospheres and graphene sheets in an anchoring mode and polymerizing of pyrrole on the Fe3O4 surface. TEM, XRD and XPS were used to characterize the as-prepared products. Nanocomposites exhibit excellent adsorption capability of 348.4 mg g-1 for heavy metal Cr (VI) ions, and moreover, are stable, separable easily under external magnetic field and recyclable, retaining about 83.1% of the removal efficiency after four adsorption-desorption cycles. The adsorption isotherm has been studied and shows a good consistency with the Langmuir mode. The nanocomposites could be a good candidate for efficient removal of Cr (VI) from the wastewater.
