Abstract The current study presents a simple and scalable method for the synthesis of (aminomethyl)phosphonic acid-functionalized graphene oxide (AMPA-GO) adsorbent. The chemical structure of the new material was disclosed by different instrumental analyses (e.g. FTIR, Raman, XPS, AFM, TEM, XRD, CHN, and UV), and two pertinent mechanisms namely nucleophilic substitution and condensation were suggested for its formation. Adsorption experiments revealed that both AMPA-GO and plain GO have a high affinity toward Th(IV) ions, but the AMPA-GO is superior in terms of adsorption capacity, rate of adsorption, selectivity, pH effect, etc. Indeed, the AMPA-GO can uptake Th(IV) nearly instantaneously, and coexisting Na+ ions have no effect on its adsorption. Thanks to Langmuir isotherm, the maximum adsorption capacities of the GO and AMPA-GO were obtained 151.06 and 178.67 mg g−1, respectively. Interestingly, GO and AMPA-GO both showed a higher preference for thorium over uranium so that the average “K d (Th)/K d (U)” for them was 52 and 44, respectively. This data suggests that chromatographic separation of thorium and uranium is feasible by these adsorbents.
