“…Effect of pH pH is a determinant factor in adsorption of Cr(III), Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ ions from aqueous solutions (Li and Wang, 2009;Ramkumar et al, 2008). To study the effect of pH on adsorption capacity of graphene oxide, pH of the solution was tested in the ranges of 2-6 for Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ and 2-4.5 for Cr(III).…”

Water pollution due to heavy metals has become a critical problem worldwide. In this study, the removal of chromium(III), cadmium and lead by graphene oxide adsorbent was examined. Graphene oxide nanosheets were synthesized through Hummer's method, and their characteristics were examined using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The effect of independent variables, pH, contact time and initial concentration of solution on the removal efficiency of Cr(III), Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ was evaluated according to the experimental Box-Behnken Design using response surface methodology (RSM). Applying quadratic model, the adsorption rate of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ was obtained as 99% and the adsorption rate of Cr(III) was obtained as 98%. ANOVA was applied as statistical analysis of responses. According to FESEM images, the average size of graphene oxide sheets was 1 to 3 µm. After optimization by RSM, adsorption capacities of Cr(III), Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ were found to be 38 mg/g, 136 mg/g and 68 mg/g, respectively. Examination of isotherms suggested that Cd 2+ and Cr(III) adsorptions follow Langmuir, and Pb 2+ adsorption follows Freundlich isotherm. The results showed that graphene oxide has a good effect on removing Cr(III), Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ ions from aqueous solutions. pH of the solution and initial concentration of the contaminant had the highest effect on adsorption of the mentioned heavy metals. The results of RSM analysis showed that the obtained data were in agreement with the predicted model.

“…27 It is proposed that the lone pairs of electrons of the amino nitrogen atom and the oxime oxygen atom can be donated to the positive metal center to form a stable chelate. 28,29 For uranium sorption, the amidoxime group has been widely used to functionalize many kinds of materials, such as carbon nanotubes, 30 graphene, 31 silica, 32 mesoporous carbon, 26 hydrogel, 33 and various polymers. [34][35][36] However, the interaction between the amidoxime group and uranium has not been fully explored, and the proposed interaction mechanism lacks experimental verification.…”
“…Uranium exists commonly in the uranyl form (UO 2 2+ ) in aqueous media and has high stability in natural environments [7]. In this context, many studies have been carried out to A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t prevent its contamination into water using arene-based magnetite nano-particles [8], organic ligands, material modified organic ligands [9][10][11] and new functionalized polymer structures [12].…”
Three alkylated thiosemicarbazones (1-3) substituted on sulfur were synthesized using 5-bromosalicylaldehyde as starting material. The template reactions of the S-alkylthiosemicarbazones in the presence of dioxouranium(VI) were investigated. Six dioxouranium(VI) (1a-3b) complexes were synthesized. Propyl or allyl alcohol used as second ligand completed the seventh coordination site of UO 2 2+ . The synthesized thiosemicarbazones and template complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-visible, FTIR and 1 H-NMR. The structure of the dioxouranium(VI) complex, [UO 2 L(allylalcohol)], was studied by single-crystal diffraction. The uranium is seven-coordinate in a pentagonal-bipyramidal arrangement with two oxo groups occupying the apical positions.
