Abstract

The ability of few-layer graphene prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis to adsorb Rhodamine G was studied. The dependences of the sorption capacity of few-layer graphene particles on the Rhodamine G concentration in aqueous solution, solution temperature, and adsorption time were determined. The adsorption of Rhodamine G on the surface of few-layer graphene is satisfactorily described by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The process occurs under mixed diffusion control and can be described by a pseudo-second-order rate equation.
