Abstract There is an increasing need to explore effective and clean approaches for hazardous contamination removal from wastewaters. In this work, a novel bead adsorbent, polyvinyl alcohol–graphene oxide (PVA-GO) macroporous hydrogel bead was prepared as filter media for p-nitrophenol (PNP), dye methylene blue (MB), and heavy metal U(VI) removal from aqueous solution. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments were carried out to evaluate the adsorption capacities of PNP, MB, and U(VI) on this bead. From batch experiments, the maximum adsorption capacities of PNP, MB, and U(VI) reached 347.87, 422.90, and 327.55 mg/g. From the fixed-bed column experiments, the adsorption capacities of PNP, MB, and U(VI) decreased with initial concentration increasing from 100 to 400 mg/L. The adsorption capacities of PNP, MB, and U(VI) decreased with increasing flow rate. Also, the maximum adsorption capacity of PNP decreased as pH increased from 3 to 9, while MB and U(VI) presented opposite tendencies. Furthermore, the bed depth service Time (BDST) model showed good linear relationships for the three ions' adsorption processes in this fixed-bed column, which indicated that the BDST model effectively evaluated and optimized the adsorption process of PVA-GO macroporous hydrogel bead in fixed-bed columns for hazardous contaminant removal from wastewaters.


With the aim of investigate the adsorption capacity of graphene oxide/polyvinyl alcohol (GO/PVA) polymer (the adsorbent), methylene blue is selected as an object to assess the adsorption capacity. The results showed that, after 93 minutes, the adsorption get the equilibrium state and 86% of methylene blue is adsorbed. Temperature, pH are also studied to find the optimum conditions for the adsorption where by pH 7 has the highest adsorption capacity and in the base environment, the obtained adsorption capacity is very low (<0,15 mg/g).. Repeated this process triple times on the same adsorbent (the adsorbent is treated after using each time), there is still 80% of methylene blue is adsorbed. This make save the money and protect the environment so this material promises to be a suitable alternate for adsorbents.

Improving the effect of microbial denitrification under low-temperature conditions has been a popular focus of research in recent years. In this study, graphene oxide (GO)-modified polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) (GO/PVA–SA) gel beads were used as a heterotrophic nitrification–aerobic denitrification (HN–AD) bacteria ( Pseudomonas fluorescens Z03) carrier to enhance nitrogen removal efficiency levels at low temperatures (6–8°C). The removal efficiency of N H 4     + -N and N O 3       − -N and the variations in concentrations of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) under different GO doses (0.03–0.15 g l −1 ) were studied. The results indicated that the addition of GO can improve the efficiency of nitrogen removal, and the highest removal efficiency level and highest carbohydrate, protein, and total EPS content levels (50.28 mg, 132.78 mg and 183.06 mg (g GO/PVA–SA gel) −1 , respectively) were obtained with 0.15 g l −1 GO. The simplified Monod model accurately predicted the nitrogen removal efficiency level. These findings suggested that the application of GO serves as an effective means to enhance nitrogen removal by stimulating the activity of HN–AD bacteria.
