A magnetically modified graphene oxide-chitosan composite was synthesized and exploited for removal of chromium(VI). The composite material was characterized by BET, SEM, TEM, XRD and FTIR. The optimum pH was 3.0 (+/- 0.1). Film diffusion and pseudo-second-order equation governs the overall kinetics. Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherms describe the experimental data. Negative Delta G degrees (-15.49 to-15.67 kJ mol(-1)) with positive Delta H degrees (11.29 kJ mol(-1)) indicated spontaneous and endothermic reaction. Optimum regenerate solution is 0.05 M NaOH and spent adsorbents could be reused up to 5th cycle of regeneration, where the composite retained its adsorption capacity 92% of its original. A single stage batch adsorber is proposed for removal of Cr(VI) concentration up to 0.05 mg L-1. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
