摘要

A novel nano composite SnO2@rGO using microwave was synthesized based on simple redox reaction as adsorbent for uranyl ions removal from wastewater. Successful anchoring of stannic ions onto the rGO nano sheets was attained by using GO and stannous chloride as precursors. The maximum adsorption of U(VI) ions was at near neutral pH. Langmuir and pseudo second order kinetic model were the best fit models. SnO2@rGO exhibited adsorption capacity of 555 mg/g followed by GO of 244 mg/g. Thus the composite adsorbent proved to be a cost-effective, selective and environmentally friendly procedure holding capability of scaling up for field application.
