What is Potential application of graphene oxide and Aspergillus niger spores with high adsorption capacity for recovery of europium from red phosphor, compact fluorescent lamp and simulated radioactive waste about?
The recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) is a global challenge and the mining of rare earths has serious environmental implications due to the toxic waste released post mining. Hence, the rising demand for rare earths and their far reaching electronic applications necessitates an effective strategy to recover the REEs from more viable sources. In this work, the graphene oxide–Aspergillus niger spores (GO– A. niger spores) blend was utilized for adsorptive recovery of a precious rare earth Eu(III) and the adsorption variables like pH of the medium, adsorbent dosage, sorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and isotherm were optimized for the developed biosorbent. The adsorption process suits the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 147.3 mg/g. The pseudo–second–order kinetics is a perfect fit to describe the adsorption process. The results obtained through the Van't Hoff plot show negative free energy change (ΔG 0) which implies the spontaneity of the adsorption process. The negative standard enthalpy change (ΔH 0) values show that the nature of the adsorption process is exothermic. The analytical characterizations including Fourier transform infrared spectrosco
