Sulfur doped Mesoporous rGO, rGO/Fe HM were synthesized as evidenced by FTIR and XPS.
Sulfur atom occupies more space within the lattice than carbon and leads to the formation of
MPrGO due to the occurrence of lattice stress and strain events
HM combined with iron species are promising materials for coated sand and demonstrate
enhanced absorption of heavy metals
Sand coated with FGR with HM was investigated for heavy metal absorption as a function of pH
and showed Hg absorption to be independent of pH. Cr absorption however improves under both
acidic and basic conditions indicating the presence of more than one of reactive species
Formation of organometallic of Hg and Cr after absorption are good for recyclability
Present work shows almost 95% absorption of Pb
