A novel nanocomposite was synthesized for simultaneous removal of inorganic and organic pollutants from wastewater. The nanocomposite showed excellent adsorption performance in various batch experiments, demonstrating high adsorption capacity for different pollutants. The study also confirmed the effective adsorption of heavy metals and dyes by the nanocomposite, making it a promising adsorbent for practical wastewater treatment.
Discharging of inorganic and organic pollutants creates a serious threat to the human health and the environ-ment. In the current work, we have synthesized Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) functionalized graphene oxide-chitosan nanocomposite (GO-EDTA-CS) for simultaneous removal of inorganic (i.e., mercury (Hg(II) and copper (Cu(II)) and organic pollutants (i.e., methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV)) from wastewater via adsorption process. The structural, functional, morphological, elemental compositions, surface area and thermal properties of the synthesized nanocomposite were identified using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spec-troscopy (EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), respectively. Different batch adsorption experiments such as pH effect, contact time, initial pollutants concentration, reusability etc. were studied in monocomponent system to optimize the results. The adsorption process apparently followed pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics for both pollutants, however the adsorption kinetics was also explained by the intra-particle diffusion model. The isotherm data for both metals ions and dyes were well fit by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities of the adsorbent were determined 324 +/- 3.30 130 +/- 2.80, 141 +/- 6.60, and 121 +/- 3.50 mg g(-1) for Hg(II), Cu(II), MB, and CV, respectively. The excellent adsorption ca-pacity was attributed to the availability of various active functional groups (e.g., -COOH, -OH, -NH2, etc.) on the adsorbent. The EDS, elemental mapping and FTIR analysis performed before and after the adsorption of heavy metals and dyes by GO-EDTA-CS confirmed the simultaneous adsorption of the pollutants. Moreover, GO-EDTA- CS could maintain its adsorption capacity for both inorganic and organic pollutants even after seven cycles of adsorption-desorption, indicating itself a promising adsorbent for practical wastewater treatment containing both inorganic and organic toxic pollutants.
