Abstract
In the present work, rGO/MoS2/Fe3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized and after confirmation of the structure by FTIR, XRD, and FESEM techniques, its performance as nanosorbent was investigated for the removal of fenitrothion pesticide from the aqueous media. The parameters affecting the removal process including agitation time, pH of the reaction medium, adsorbent content, initial analyte concentration as well as desorption parameters were investigated and optimized. Under optimum conditions (pH = 7, adsorbent amount: 30mg, adsorption and desorption time: 5min, eluent type and volume: 0.01M ethanol-acetic acid and 4mL), the synthesized adsorbent was able to remove fenitrothion pesticide up to 98% with an adsorption capacity of 33.4mg/g. By investigation of the line equation and the correlation coefficient value, it was found that the adsorption process, in this study, follows the Langmuir model.
