A novel biosorbent of N-doped graphene oxide hydrogel with shrimp shell magnetic biochar was fabricated for effective removal of Cr(VI), showing high adsorption capacity and reusability in various water sources.
In this work, a novel decorated and combined N-doped graphene oxide hydrogel with shrimp shell magnetic biochar (NGO3DH-MSSB) biosorbent was fabricated as an effective material for Cr(VI) removal. Three-dimensional self-assembled graphene oxide hydrogel was synthesized using nitrogen source, ethylenediamine (EDA). Characterizations of NGO3DH-MSSB biosorbent were established by FT-IR, TGA, SEM and BET, where high surface area (398.05 m(2)/g) compared with that of MSSB (138.64 m(2)/g) was characterized. The maximum achieved swelling ratio (800%) was only after 300 min. The binding mechanisms between Cr(VI) ions and NGO3DH-MSSB biosorbent were controlled by electrostatic adsorption (ion-pair), pore filling, and reduction-coordination reaction. Adsorption was described by the pseudo-second order kinetic (R-2 = 0.9994, 0.9983 and 0.9992) at 10, 50 and 100 mg/L and Langmuir isotherm model (R-2 = 0.9997, 0.9957 and 0.9912) at 25, 40 and 50 degrees C. The adsorption capacity (350.42 mg/g) was achieved at pH 1.0, using initial Cr(VI) concentration (100 mg/L) and contact time (180 min) at room temperature. NGO3DH-MSSB biosorbent could be successfully reused after eight cycles. The percentage removal of Cr(VI) were confirmed as 99.79%, 99.20% and 98.00% from tap water, sea water and wastewater, respectively.
