The adsorption efficiency is evaluated through single/multi-component static adsorption experiments, combined with techniques such as XPS, FTIR, BET, and TGA to elucidate the mechanism. Experimental results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of PGO reaches equilibrium within 60 min at pH = 6, with a temperature of 35 °C and a concentration of 100 mg/L, achieving an adsorption rate as high as 78.9 %. The maximum adsorption capacity determined by Langmuir fitting is 742.796 mg · g-1.

Statistical physics calculations indicate that adsorption possesses thermodynamic characteristics of spontaneity, exothermicity, and increased randomness. Isothermal and kinetic fitting confirm that surface reaction-controlled chemical adsorption is the primary mechanism. Spectral analysis clarifies that phosphate groups (P<img>O, O–H) are at the core of La(III) adsorption, while oxygen-containing and possibly nitrogen-containing functional groups in the graphene substrate synergistically enhance the efficiency, achieving effective adsorption.
