A novel one-step method for preparation of sulfonate functionalized nanodiamonds and their utilization for ultrafast removal of organic dyes with high efficiency: Kinetic and isotherm studies

In this work, a novel one-step method based on the aryl diazonium chemistry has been developed for the first time to synthesize benzenesulfonic-modified NDs (NDs-SO3H), which were used to remove methylene blue (MB) in dyestuff sewage. The particle morphology, structure, physicochemical characters of NDs and NDs-SO3H were examined through SEM, TEM, XPS, TGA and FT-IR. To further explore the adsorption application, the adsorption behavior of NDs...
