Abstract: Using acrylic acid (AA) as monomer and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator, polyacrylic acid (PAA) was coated on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) by in-situ polymerization to obtain GO-PAA nanocomposites. The GO-PAA nanocomposites were dispersed in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) matrix, and PAN/GO-PAA electrospun nanocomposite fibrous membranes were obtained by electrospinning technology. HPEI-g-PAN/GO-PAA electrospun nanocomposite fibrous membranes were fabricated by grafting hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (HPEI) on the surface of PAN/GO-PAA electrospun nanocomposite fibrous membranes with chemical grafting reaction. The adsorption performance of HPEI-g-PAN/GO-PAA electrospun nanocomposite fibrous membranes for Au(Ⅲ) was studied by batch experiments. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of HPEI-g-PAN/GO-PAA electrospun nanocomposite fibrous membranes for Au(Ⅲ) was 1 808.60 mg·g-1. During the adsorption process, partial Au(Ⅲ) was reduced to flake and irregularly granular Au elemental. HPEI-g-PAN/GO-PAA electrospun nanocomposite fibrous membranes had good adsorption selectivity for Au(Ⅲ) in the coexisting ionic system.
