ABSTRACT
Cellulose/graphene oxide composite membranes (CGCMs) were prepared using a vacuum-filtration method. The CGCMs were then used as filters to remove organic pollutants from wastewater. It was found that the CGCM filters could efficiently and simultaneously achieve wastewater treatment and adsorbent separation. Their adsorption of Rhodamine B (RhB, an organic dye) varied with varying cellulose/graphene oxide mass ratios. The CGCM obtained at a cellulose/graphene oxide mass ratio of 81 exhibited the maximum removal efficiency for RhB. The maximum adsorption capacity of the CGCMs for RhB was found to be 86.4 mg/g. In addition, the CGCMs were easily regenerated and the regenerated CGCMs retained good abilities to remove contaminants, which could be significant for their application in wastewater treatment.
