Thiourea-formaldehyde-Functionalized Graphene Oxide for the Selective Removal of Copper from Multielement Solution
and pH 5.2, independent of salinity. XPS analysis confirmed that Cu-S governs selective binding. The performance of G3DTF in real leachate-mimicking systems further validated its selectivity and application potential. These results demonstrate the ability of G3DTF as a sustainable platform for selective Cu recovery from CRM-rich waste streams.
