Hydrothermally Synthesized Magnetically Separable RGO Supported Nanocomposite for Water Purification
Abstract:
Wastewater containing dyes and microbial bodies has attracted global attention because of the harmful effects on aquatic environment and human health. A considerable amount of dyes are present in the industrial effluents due to the loss during the processing of industrial products. The purpose of this study was to syntheses the composite particle for the effective removal of dyes and microbial bodies from aqueous solution. For this purpose, RGO supported nanocomposite was prepared using hydrothermal treatment of aqueous solution containing graphene oxide (GO), aqueous solution of silver nitrate and ferrous chloride tetrahydrate, and ethanol as precursor. Transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction indicated the formation of RGO supported silver doped iron oxide nanocomposite. As synthesized nanocomposite was highly effective for the adsorption of methylene blue and reduction of p-nitrophenol in aqueous solution, and also had high antibacterial capacity. The composite synthesis protocol is a simple and efficient to produce a unique composite for environmental remediation.
