▎ 摘  要

Novel hybrid aerogels were prepared by adding ZnCl2, NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O, FeCl2 center dot 4H(2)O and FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O to a suspension of equal weights of graphene oxide and oxidized carbon nanotubes, followed by co-precipitation under basic conditions. The aerogels were then crosslinked with polyvinyl alcohol in water and freeze-dried. They consisted of magnetic Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes and polyvinyl alcohol, which have active sites that attract dye molecules and could be extracted from water by applying a magnetic field. Using optimum mass ratios of ZnCl2/NiCl2 center dot 6H(2)O/FeCl2 center dot 4H(2)O/FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O/(graphene oxide+oxidized carbon nanotube) at 6:6:12:12: 1, the hybrid aerogel has a high adsorption capacity of 71.03 mg g(-1) for methylene blue and a moderate magnetic strength of M-S = 3.519 emu g(-1). Its removal efficiencies for methylene blue, methyl orange, crystal violet and a mixture of equal masses of the three were 70.1%, 4.2%, 8.9% and 11.1%, respectively for the same dye concentration of 0.025 mg mL(-1). It could be used for 3 regeneration cycles with a regeneration efficiency of over 82%. It was also not toxic to the living organisms, suggesting that it is a promising adsorbent for treating industrial wastewater.
