Abstract

Present study reports the successful development of a novel lanthanum (La)-based magnetic adsorbent and its use for phosphate removal from water. For its synthesis, natural magnetite (Mag), Fe3O4, was subjected to partial dissolution in HCl solution and the obtained suspension was mixed with an alkaline solution for in-situ synthesis of ferrihydrite (Fh)-coated Mag (Mag@Fh). Mag@Fh was then decorated with La (hydr)oxides followed by calcination to produce Fh-coated and La-decorated Mag (Mag@Fh-La). Obtained Mag@Fh-La represented high phosphate adsorption capacity (44.8 mg P/g at 15.7% La in its structure) and La usage efficiency. Moreover, Mag@Fh-La retained its high adsorption capacity (>35.0 mg P/g) over a wide range of equilibrium solution pH (3.2-10.7). The combination of FTIR, XPS analysis and adsorption experiments revealed that ligand exchange and electrostatic attraction were the main mechanisms that jointly facilitated the adsorption of phosphate. Adsorption-desorption cycle studies confirmed the well-retained adsorption efficiency of regenerated Mag@Fh-La for repeated applications. Final experiments with real domestic wastewater (initial phosphate concentration of 1.7 mg/L) revealed that 0.2 g/L Mag@Fh-La efficiently reduced the phosphate concentration to below 0.02 mg/L. Overall, this work clearly highlights that the synthesized novel adsorbent has promising applications in phosphate removal from real wastewater.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
