Abstract
This work highlights a novel method for the synthesis of carbon nanosheets coated on zirconium oxide
nanoplate (CNS/ZrO2NPs) nanocomposite that is used as an adsorbent for Zn2+ ions removal from water. CNS/
ZrO2NPs nanocomposite was prepared using CNS and ZrO2NPs by a hydrothermal method. This nanocomposite
proved to be a good adsorbent for Zn2+ ion uptake at maximum pH of 8 and dosage of 20 mg. The Temkin isotherm
model represented the adsorption process followed by the Langmuir isotherm with a maximum adsorption capacity of
606.06 mg g1
, above other adsorbents that have been reported for the removal of zinc ions. The adsorption kinetic
process was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics, and it was found that the adsorption followed a
chemisorption process. The thermodynamic parameters, such as enthalpy (H), Gibbs free energy (G), and entropy
(S), revealed that the adsorption was exothermic, spontaneous, and not random during the process. This metalloaded adsorbent Zn2+-CNS/ZrO2NPs nanocomposite furthermore was reused in latent fingerprint detection and did
demonstrate good selectivity and sensitivity on different surfaces by two donors. Therefore, Zn2+-CNS/ZrO2NPs nanocomposite may be reutilized as a good fingerprint marking agent in latent fingerprint (LFP) identification to circumvent secondary environmental pollution by the release of a spent adsorbent.
