Abstract

In this study, a sponge filter (SF) was developed from lanthanum-flocculated graphene oxide and chitosan to separate phosphate from aqueous solution. The results showed that the SF could effectively separate phosphate from aqueous solution through a chemical filtration process; the filtrated phosphate was adsorbed in the material. The filtration capacity on phosphate was 13.12 mg g-1, implying that chemical flocculation is suitable for graphene oxide flocculation, and chemical filtration by SF is a promising phosphate contamination removal pathway.
