ABSTRACT

We report on the synthesis of ß-cyclodextrin (ßCD) modified graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, having different sized alkyl linkers (GO-Cn -ßCD) and their exploitation as sorbent of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water. ßCD were functionalized with a pending amino group, and the resulting precursors grafted to GO nanosheets by epoxide ring opening reaction. Loading of ßCD units in the range 12 %-36 % was estimated by combined XPS and elemental analysis. Adsorption tests on perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), a particularly persistent PFAS selected as case study, revealed a strong influence of the alkyl linker length on the adsorption efficiency, with the hexyl linker derivative GO-C6 -ßCD outperforming both pristine GO and granular activated carbon (GAC), the standard sorbent benchmark. Molecular dynamic simulations ascribed this evidence to the favorable orientation of the ßCD unit on the surface of GO which enables a strong contaminant molecules retention.

ABSTRACT

Lysine-covalently modified graphene oxide (GO-Lys) was prepared by an innovative procedure. Lysine brushes promote enhanced adsorption of bisphenol A, benzophenone-4 and carbamazepine contaminants from tap water, with a removal capacity beyond the state of the art.
