An effective method for rapid and high efficiency removal of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from contaminated water had been proposed based on the Graphene/silica magnetic nanocomposites (M/GO). Factors affecting the adsorption efficiency of M/GO were investigated and we found that the optimum adsorption pH was 5.5, adsorption time was 20 min and adsorbent concentration was 400 mg⋅L-1 for phenanthrene and 1200 mg⋅L-1 for pyrene, respectively. The adsorption mechanisms were also discussed. The regeneration and reuse experiments showed good reusability of the as-prepared adsorbent. In addition, this method was successfully applied to the rapid and high efficiency removal of phenanthrene and pyrene from real water samples, which presages more opportunities for application in environment and material sciences.
