Magnetic graphene oxide (GO) as a carbon based material was modified through a hydrothermal method to obtain an economically recoverable adsorbent in order to two organic contaminants namely 4-nitrophel and 4-nitroaniline adsorption. The performance of adsorption process was investigated as a function of four factors including temperature, solution pH, mixing time and initial concentration. Studies showed that the time to reach an equilibrium system was obtained at 70 and 100 min respectively. Effect of dose of adsorbent was studied individual due to its high cost for optimization of process. Batch experiments represented that synthesized magnetic GO has an excellent adsorption capacity for removal of pollutants which has a cost effective recovery ability. In order to apperceive the effect of operational parameters, batch experiments were carried out under intended conditions which maximum adsorption capacity of magnetic nanoparticles was 479 and 313/1 mg/g at 298 K. Isotherms were evaluated to study mechanism and behavior between adsorbent and aqueous solution. Langmuer isotherm model and for kinetic isotherm, Pseudo second order were best fitted with experimental data. Values of the ∆G, ∆H and ∆S obtained from Thermodynamic isotherms of adsorption assumed that adsorption reaction was spontaneous and a chemisorption reaction was occurred. The adsorption mechanism was discussed and the π–π stacking and electrostatic interactions were supposed as the main mechanisms of adsorption of 4-Np and 4-NA on adsorbent. Finally response surface methodology (RSM) as a statistical investigation was used to optimize adsorption factors to obtain maximum adsorption capacity and investigate the interactive effect of parameters using Box-Behnken Design (BBD). The experimental data were evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and second order polynomial model was suggested to fitting the experimental data. Optimum conditions obtained by response surface method for temperature, initial concentration, pH, time and maximum adsorption capacity were calculated 25˚C, 450 ppm, pH=2,t=120min for 4-NP and 25˚C, 320 ppm, pH=3/95, t=120 min for 4-NA and maximum adsorption capacity 313/32 and 480 mg/g respectively. Coefficient determination R2 was 96.61% and 99%that indicates a good matching between experimental and statistical results.
