3·5H
2O, 98%], sodium
molybdate dehydrate (Na
2MoO
4·2H
2O, 99%), and
ethylene glycol (99%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich
and were used together with ethanol (99%) obtained from Minema Chemicals
(Johannesburg) for the synthesis of Bi
2MoO
6.
GO was synthesized using H
2O
2, HCl, H
2SO
4/H
3PO
4, KMnO
4, and
graphite powder. The naphthalene flakes used to prepare PAH-contaminated
water were purchased from Associated Chemical Enterprises, Johannesburg.
Deionized water was used in all the experiments. All chemicals were
analytically pure and were used with no further purification.
