Abstract

Amine-functionalized graphene oxide/zinc hexacyanoferrate (amino-rGO/ZnHCF) composites were successfully synthesized for the removal of Cs+ from radioactive liquid waste. Their morphologies, surface areas, pore sizes, functional groups, and thermal stabilities were investigated by field-emission transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetry. Adsorption experiments revealed high adsorption capacities at pH 5–7 and stability below pH 9. The dependence of the synthesized composites on the pseudo-second-order model and the Temkin model was also observed. The results of this study indicate that the new amino-rGO/ZnHCF composites are good adsorbent candidates for Cs removal from aqueous solutions.
