This study reports the enhancement of the physical adsorption of some insoluble lead compounds, from drinking water, onto polylactic acid (PLA) polymer and graphene oxide (GO) by filling with molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanoparticles (NPs). Based on the Lifshitz theory, we demonstrate the attractive nature of the van der Waals (vdW) interactions that are responsible for the physical adsorption between the cerussite (PbCO 3 ), the pyromorphite (Pb 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl), and the lead dioxide (PbO 2 ) insoluble adsorbates and the GO/MoS 2 and PLA/MoS 2 adsorbent nanocomposites in water medium. Subsequently, we show an increase in the physical adsorption, at close and large separation distances (100 nm) in the water medium, between the lead-insoluble adsorbate and the adsorbent GO/MoS 2 and PLA/MoS 2 nanocomposites by increasing the filling ratios (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) of MoS 2 NPs. Moreover, for each lead-insoluble adsorbate, we demonstrate that the vdW adsorption potential and force were more important for GO/MoS 2 than for PLA/MoS 2 adsorbent. However, for a fixed filling rate, the physical adsorption was more important in the order PbO 2 Pb 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl PbCO 3 . Interestingly, we demonstrate that the physical adsorption strongly depended on the GO/MoS 2 and PLA/MoS 2 adsorbent type and weakly dependent to the lead compound adsorbates. For all “PbO 2 , Pb 5 (PO 4 ) 3 Cl, and PbCO 3 ” adsorbates, we demonstrate that the vdW adsorption potential and force were higher ∼6, ∼3.1, ∼2.2, and ∼1.9 times for GO than for PLA adsorbent for, respectively, filling ratios 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of MoS 2 NPs.
