Abstract

The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution on a HKUST-1/GO (MOFs : HKUST-1) composite was studied in view of the adsorption isotherm, kinetics and regeneration of the sorbent. The adsorption isotherms of methylene blue (MB) on the HKUST-1/GO composite followed both the Freundlich isotherm and the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic parameters were determined from the experimental data. The used HKUST-1/GO could be regenerated by acetone, so it can be recycled for reuse. The high adsorption capacity and excellent reusability make HKUST-1/GO attractive for the removal of MB from aqueous solution.
