Fabrication and characterization of a polysulfone-graphene oxide nanocomposite membrane for arsenate rejection from water

BACKGROUND Nowadays, study and application of modified membranes for water treatment have been considered significantly. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize a polysulfone (PSF)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite membrane and to evaluate for arsenate rejection from water. MATERIALS AND METHODS The nanocomposite PSF/GO membrane was fabricated using wet phase inversion method. T...

Dye removal from water by zinc ferrite-graphene oxide nanocomposite

In this work, zinc ferrite magnetic and zinc ferrite-graphene oxide nanocomposite were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method and dye removal capability as an adsorbent were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR, X-ray diffraction XRD and scanning electron microscopy SEM were used to characterize the synthesized nanocomposite. The UV-Vis results showed that the additi...

TiO2-graphene oxide nanocomposite as advanced photocatalytic materials

BACKGROUND Graphene oxide composites with photocatalysts may exhibit better properties than pure photocatalysts via improvement of their textural and electronic properties. RESULTS TiO2-Graphene Oxide (TiO2 - GO) nanocomposite was prepared by thermal hydrolysis of suspension with graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and titania peroxo-complex. The characterization of graphene oxide nanosheets was p...
