Abstract
Strontium (Sr) is a primary radioactive substance that should be prioritized for removal from nuclear wastewater and hospital radioactive water. An efficient graphene oxide/hydroxyapatite adsorbent (GO/HAp) was investigated for the rapid adsorption of Sr2+. Herein, a kinetic and mechanism study of this system was implemented, and the morphology and structure of as-prepared composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Fourier transforming infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model. Sr2+ adsorption was further analyzed by adjusting the HAp ratio, adsorbent dosage, initial Sr2+ concentration, solution pH, Ca source, and coexisting ions. The removal efficiency and adsorption capacity were up to 100%, about 109.39 mg/g. The immobilization of Sr2+ was attributed to synergizing the adsorption characteristics of GO and HAp. Due to the remarkable adsorption performance, GO/HAp composites show great potential for practical applications in the treatment of nuclide-containing wastewater.
