▎ 摘  要

Fulvic acid (FA) can affect the dispersion of graphene oxide (GO) in aquatic environments, however, the possible mechanisms remain unclear. Dynamic light scattering techniques combined with a multiple regression model were ap-plied to explore the influence of FA sub-fractions (FApH3 - FApH13) on the aggregation kinetics of GO in aqueous environments. The ratios of critical coagulation concentration (CCC) values were CCCNa: CCCMg: CCCLa: CCCCe = 1:2-5.15:3-7.31:3-7.35, which were consistent with the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory and Schulze-Hardy rules. The GO remained stable at pH 3-10 and aggregated at pH < 3 or pH > 10, and its critical coag-ulation pH values were 1.44 and 12.25 with 10 mM NaCl as background. The CCC values of GO in the presence of FApH3 - FApH13 were greater than those in the absence of FA sub-fractions. The ratios of CCC values of GO (r) in-creased in the presence of FA sub-fractions in the order of FApH13 > FApH9 > FApH7 > FApH5 > FApH3 and ranged from 1.01 to 2.15 for certain metal ions including Na+, Mg2+, La3+, and Ce3+. The CCC values of GO were signifi-cantly related to C, H, O, N, S, H/C, O/C, carboxylic C, and carbonyl C of FA sub-fractions (P < 0.05), respectively, and could be predicted using the multiple linear regression eq. CCC = Z-n (98.959- 60.911 * O/C + 4.799 * O -alkyl C - 0.845 * aromatic C - 6.237 * carbonyl C). The predicted CCC values for GO were within 90 % prediction in-tervals, and the average error of the CCC values was 3.3 % and R2 = 0.986. This investigation is expected to provide a scientific basis for the transport and ecotoxicity of GO in environments.
