Abstract

Froth flotation was employed for quantitative separation of graphene oxide nanoribbon (GONR) from its solution. The effects of GONR concentration, pH, and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration on GONR separation were studied through a Box–Behnken experimental design method. F value of 176.47, coefficient of determination of 0.9969, adjusted R2 of 0.9912, and coefficient of variation of 4.09%, explored by means of analysis of variance, implied the satisfactory adjustment of the obtained quadratic model. The results indicated that low GONR and high CTAB concentration at low pH were ideal for maximum separation by flotation.
