Polypyrrole magnetic graphene oxide (PPy/MGO) composites has been synthesized from natural source (water hyacinth roots) using polymerization technique for Th(IV) ions pre-concentration from aqueous solutions. The effects of controlling factor have been studied using batch technique. The obtained re...
