The graphene-based composites was prepared by the oxidation of graphene nano-platelets. The characterization results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR) indicated that acid treatment can generate abundant functional groups on the surface of graphene. The determined equilibrium adsorption capacity of FGN for lead was 57.765 mg/g, which is higher than that of many currently reports. The adsorption process was completed within 40 min and the adsorption isotherms confirmed to Langmuir classical isotherms models.
