Synthesis of Composites for the Removal of F- Anions
This work presents the synthesis of amine and ferrihydrite functionalized graphene oxide for the removal of fluoride from water. The synthesis of the graphene oxide and the modified with amine groups is developed by following the modified Hummer’s method. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, surface charge distribution, specific surface area and porosity, adsorption isotherms, and the van’t Hoff equation are used for the characterization of the synthesized materials. Results show that the addition of amines with ferrihydrite generates wrinkles on the surface layers, suggesting a successful incorporation of nitrogen onto the graphene oxide; and as a consequence, the adsorption capacity per unit area of the materials is increased.
