Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Environmental Science
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CTS) are versatile materials with applications in energy and environmental remediation.
  • Developing advanced porous materials is crucial for efficient pollutant removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create novel inorganic-organic heterocomposite beads using GO and CTS.
  • To investigate the microstructure and adsorption properties of these core-shell beads.
  • To evaluate their effectiveness in removing methyl orange from aqueous solutions.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step freeze-casting method was employed to fabricate spherical GO-CTS core-shell beads.
  • Characterization of bead microstructure, porosity, and mesopore volume.
  • Adsorption experiments were conducted to determine methyl orange removal efficiency under various conditions.

Main Results:

  • The GO-CTS beads exhibited high porosity (94-96%) and significant mesopore volume.
  • The core-shell structure featured an abrupt interface between the GO core and CTS shell.
  • Adsorption capacity for methyl orange reached 353 mg/g at 318 K, significantly higher than pure CTS beads.
  • Adsorption followed the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Conclusions:

  • The developed GO-CTS core-shell beads are effective adsorbents for methyl orange.
  • The incorporation of a GO core enhances the adsorption performance of chitosan.
  • These findings highlight the potential of GO-CTS composites for environmental applications, particularly in wastewater treatment.
