Abstract
A novel conducting copolymer based on amidoxime groups, polypyrrole and graphene oxide was synthesized by in situ copolymerization by usin g two monomers. The monomer, amidoxime-pyrrole, was synthesized by amidoximation of 1-(2-cyanoethyl) pyrrole. The other monomer, GO-pyrrole, was prepared via esterification between -COOH of GO and -NH2 of 1-(3-aminopropyl) pyrrole. The conductive ability of the copolymer was based on conductive -conjugated system of polypyrrole backbone. The copolymer was able to be used as an effective sorption material for the preconcentration and recovery of uranium. The maximum of adsorption capacity for uranyl ion is as high as 149.57mg/g.
