Abstract

Novel environmental friendly hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) hydrogels were fabricated upon compositing with graphene oxide (GO) in this work. In order to promote a more homogeneous dispersion of GO sheets in HPC, GO was firstly modified with HPC chains through esterification. The morphology and chemical structure of the functionalized HPC-GO were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, and thermo-gravimetric analysis. Then scanning electronic microscope was employed to compare the morphologies of the HPC and HPC-GO/HPC hydrogels. The obtained HPC-GO/HPC hydrogels exhibited excellent adsorption performance toward methylene blue. Simulation of the practical use by preparing simple adsorption columns made from in situ formation of HPC-based hydrogels had given a visible observation of the significant adsorption effect brought by the incorporation of HPC-GO sheets. Adsorption kinetics were then imitated by Lagergren pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. Adsorption isotherms were imitated by Langmuir isotherm and Freundlich isotherm.
