Graphene nanoplates (GNPs) can be used as a platform for homogeneous distribution of adsorbent nanoparticles to improve electrons exchange, absorption sites and ion transports for heavy metal adsorption. In this work, graphene/Fe2O3-MgO nanocomposite was fabricated using a facile thermal decomposition route. The prepared composite was characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and FTIR. The graphene/Fe2O3-MgO nanocomposite revealed high and quick adsorption performance toward arsenic in a wide range of solution pH with exceptional durability and recyclability, which could make this composite a very promising candidate for effective removal of arsenic from aqueous solution.
