Organosilane-functionalized and chemically activated graphene-supported Schiff base ligand were synthesized and characterized with XRD, SEM, EDX, TEM, UV.-Vis., FT-IR and TG/DTA techniques. In the synthesis process, graphene oxide was firstly obtained with Hummer’ s method and reacted with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine. The last, the amine-activated and organosilane containing GO was reacted with 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde resulting the hybrid material (M) having azomethine group. The material (M) was used as an adsorbent in order to remove the cobalt(II) and zinc(II) ions in drinking water and standard solutions. The adsorption capacity of the material (M) to cobalt(II) and zinc(II) ions was investigated by batch method. Moreover, the effect of pH, contact time, temperature, and concentration on the adsorption capacity of the material was also investigated. The enrichment factors were calculated as 441 and 675 for zinc(II) and cobalt(II), respectively. The recovery performance of the material was determined in 98.65-101.75% and 98.55-104.0% range for zinc(II) and cobalt(II) ions, respectively.
