Abstract:
Ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4 ) nanosheets, due to their interesting two-dimensional graphene-like structure and unique physicochemical properties, have attracted great research attention recently. Here, we develop a new approach to prepare ultrathin g-C3N4 nanosheets by sonication-exfoliation of bulk g-C3N4. Calcium is an essential macronutrient required for healthy human life. It is abundantly present in water. Efficiency of ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride nanosheet in removal of calcium is not known. Hence, the present work analysed adsorption kinetics of calcium from aqueous solution by using ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride nanosheet in batch culture methods.The effect of initial calcium concentration, temperature, and adsorbent mass on calcium removal was tested. The process of calcium adsorption followed pseudo second-order rate expression and obeyed the Langmuir’s model with high correlation coefficient. The results indicate that ultrathin graphitic carbon nitride nanosheet is a potential adsorbent for calcium, as evident by its high calcium adsorption value under optimal culture conditions.
