In this study, a 3D porous, thin sheet-like rGO aerogel was fabricated for the removal of antimony (Sb) ions from wastewater. The Langmuir isothermal and pseudo-second-order kinetic model were found to be the best fit for the adsorption process. The rGO aerogel showed high efficiency, good selectivity, and reusability, making it a practical material for Sb removal from tap water.
3D porous, thin sheet-like rGO aerogel was fabricated to explore its antimony (Sb) removal potential from wastewater. Langmuir isothermal and pseudo-second-order kinetic model best-suited the adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacities were 168.59 and 206.72 mg/g for Sb (III and V) at pH 6.0 respectively. The thermodynamic parameters designated the process to be thermodynamically spontaneous, endothermic reaction, a result of dissociative chemisorption. The rGO aerogel bestowed good selectively among competing ions and reusability with 95% efficiency. rGO posed excellent practicability with Sb-spiked tap water and fixed-bed column experiments showing 97.6% of Sb (III) (3.6 mu g/L) and 96.8% of Sb (V) (4.7 mu g/L) removal from tap water and from fixed column bed experiments breakthrough volumes (BV) for the Sb (III) and Sb (V) ions were noted to be 540 BV and 925 BV respectively, until 5 ppb, which are below the requirement of MCL for Sb in drinking water (6 mu g/L). XPS and DFT analyses explained adsorption mechanism and depicted a higher affinity of Sb (V) towards rGO surface than Sb (III).
