Hi all, I am synthesizing GO by improved Hummers, but after dialysis for 2 days to reach neutral pH, GO is still acidic (pH=3). Is it normal??

The second trial i tried to wash at the end with weak base (sodium bicarbonate) followed by water washing (3X). the pH now is 5.7. however, I am afraid that GO got de-protonated.

any suggestions??
