The effectiveness of carbon nanomaterials in purifying water from organic dyes has been proven over the previous decade. However, the problem of industrial application of carbon nanomaterials has not yet been solved. This is primarily due to the high cost and low productivity of carbon nanomaterials synthesis methods. This article presents the thermodynamic and kinetic data of rhodamine 6G and methylene blue adsorption on few-layer graphene. Few-layer graphene was obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis from cellulose. It is a promising method which is inexpensive and easy to scale. It was found that the studied few-layer graphene has a high adsorption capacity for both dyes, and the obtained values of adsorption capacity are higher than most of the studied carbon materials, such as carbon nanotubes or activated carbon. The most common adsorption models were used to describe the thermodynamics of the process. The kinetics of the process are described by a pseudo-second-order equation, which is quite common in graphene materials. The proposed adsorption mechanism is based on hydrophobic interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate with the formation of H-π and π–π bonds.

Эффективность углеродных наноматериалов для очистки воды от органических красителей была доказана на протяжении последнего десятилетия. Однако проблема промышленного применения углеродных наноматериалов до сих пор не решена. Это связано в первую очередь с высокой стоимостью и низкой производительностью методов синтеза углеродных наноматериалов. В данной статье представлены термодинамические и кинетические данные адсорбции родамина 6G и метиленового синего на малослойном графене. Малослойный графен был получен методом самораспространяющегося высокотемпературного синтеза из целлюлозы. Этот метод является перспективным, недорогим и легкомасштабируемым. Было установлено, что исследуемый малослойный графен обладает высокой адсорбционной способностью по отношению к обоим красителям, причём полученные значения адсорбционной ёмкости превышают показатели большинства изученных углеродных материалов, таких как углеродные нанотрубки или активированный уголь. Для описания термодинамики процесса были использованы наиболее распространённые модели адсорбции. Кинетика процесса описывается уравнением псевдовторого порядка, что довольно часто встречается для графеновых материалов. Предлагаемый механизм адсорбции основан на гидрофобном взаимодействии между адсорбентом и адсорбатом с образованием связей H–π и π–π.
