Abstract:

Water purification provides a feasible way to relieve the pressure of water shortage and water pollution which we are facing and adsorption is one of the most effective ways to turn polluted water into clean water. Here, we prepared graphene-tannic acid hydrogel using graphene oxide and tannic acid, a natural green reducer and adsorbent, through one-step hydrothermal method. The composition, structure, and morphology of the compounds were systematically examined. The adsorption of dyes was mainly influenced by the morphology and chemical properties of gel. The addition of tannic acid, a molecule rich in oxygen containing functional groups, changed the surface chemistry of graphene sheets and microstructures of gels, which was beneficial for contaminate adsorption. Compared with reduced graphene oxide hydrogel, the graphene-tannic acid hydrogel showed an outstanding adsorption capacity for organic dye methylene blue, more than 500 mg/g at pH 10 and the maximum adsorption capacity was up to 714 mg/g. After adsorption, ethanol and inorganic acid solution can be used as desorption agent and there was no significant adsorption capacity loss after 5 cycles.
