Abstract

A highly porous cellulose nanofibril (CNF) aerogel loaded with graphene oxide–iron(III) (GO–Fe)
nanocomposites was produced and used for the treatment of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution.
The CNF aerogel serves as an adsorbent for the dye, while the GO–Fe nanocomposites play a role in the
decomposition of the dye via the Fenton oxidation reaction. The aerogel exhibits rapid adsorption
performance (less than 10 min) for removing MB, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 142.3 mg g�1.
On the side of enhancing the MB removal, the GO in the GO–CNF nanocomposite aerogel was loaded
with 1 wt% of Fe(III) to perform as a catalyst for the Fenton oxidation reaction. The MB continues to
decolorize by 30.4% more after 24 h of the reaction process. Moreover, by performing Fenton oxidation
for adsorbent regeneration, the adsorption capacity for nanocomposite adsorption was reduced by
52.2% after five cycles of adsorption–oxidation.
