Abstract It is of interest to develop a novel fabrication method of a mineral adsorbent for wastewater treatment to remove the combination of heavy metal ions and refractory organic contaminants. The crosslinking agent stearyl trimethyl ammonium chloride was added into a suspension of montmorillonite and graphene oxide to implement their recombination to fabricated graphene oxide–montmorillonite nanocomposite (GMN). The fabricated nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis and zeta potential. Results indicated that GMN exhibited a honeycomb texture, providing the chemical reaction site for the simultaneous adsorption of Pb2+ and p-nitrophenol (PNP). Factors including pH value, contact time, contact temperature and GMN dosage in the adsorption process were crucial for both Pb2+ adsorption and PNP adsorption. The optimum adsorption capacities of Pb2+ and PNP onto GMN were 19.39 mg·g−1 and 14.90 mg·g−1 under the condition of pH = 6, contact temperature 55 °C, contact time 60 min and GMN dosage 0.10 g, respectively. Data from experimental studies on simultaneous adsorption was well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The implementation of this work shows that GMN is a promising material for application in the simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions and refractory organic contaminants.

Abstract An efficient and sensitive electrochemical sensor for simultaneous detection of heavy metal ions was developed based on furfural/reduced graphene oxide composites (FF/RGO). The preparation of FF/RGO were performed through a one-step high-pressure assisted hydrothermal treatment, which is recommended as a green, convenient, and efficient way for the reduction of graphene oxide and the production of FF/RGO composites. RGO not only serves as the skeleton for furfural loading but also improves the conductivity of the composites in the matrix. FF/RGO with large specific surface area and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups was used to provide more binding sites for the effificient adsorption of heavy-metal ions due to the interaction between hydrophilic groups (-COOH, -OH, and -CHO) and metal cations. The developed sensor showed identifiable electrochemical response toward the heavy metal ions separately and simultaneously, exhibiting superior stability, outstanding sensitivity, selectivity and excellent analytical performance. Impressively, the sensor developed in this experiment has been successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of various heavy metal ions in actual samples, which has definitely exhibited a promising prospect in practical application.
