Synthesis of Composites for the Removal of F Anions.

This work presents the synthesis of amine and ferrihydrite functionalized graphene oxide for the removal of fluoride from water. The synthesis of the graphene oxide and the modified with amine groups is developed by following the modified Hummer's method. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, surface charge distribution, specific surface area and porosity, adsorption isotherms, and the van't Hoff equation are used for the characterization of the synthesized materials.
