Graphene oxide-modified organic Gaomiaozi bentonite for Yb(III) adsorption from aqueous solutions

Bentonite, known as all-purpose soil, is a kind of clay widely used in engineering. Graphene oxide (GO) has a broad application prospect in many fields as a superior adsorbent. In this study, a new type of adsorbent, graphene oxide modified organic Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite was synthesized. The adsorption behavior of Yb(III) through batch experiments on the GMZ bentonite and graphene oxide-modified organic GMZ (GO-GMZ) bentonite was studied....
