The assembly of graphene oxide with biomass or polymers to form 3D hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties has become a research hotspot. In this work, the sponge-like kaolin/chitosan (CS)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite was prepared for adsorption by simple self-assembly without cross-linking agent. The morphology, composition, surface properties, and pore size of as-prepared materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), zeta potential analyzer, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurement (BET), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of raw material ratio, contact time, temperature, pH, ionic strength, and recycling times on adsorption performance were investigated in detail. The results indicate that the composite has good absorption capacity for Cr(VI) and alizarin yellow R (AYR). Besides, composite hydrogel also exhibits excellent flexibility and good repeatability, which confirms its great potential as an adsorbent to remove pollutants in the water environment.
