Abstract

Environmental engineering Chemical engineering Rehabilitation or conservation of coastal or estuarine environments
In this study, we reported the one-pot synthesis of mesoporous La(OH)3 adsorbent (Meso-La(OH)3) and its application in phosphate removal for the first time. The synthesized La(OH)3 sample exhibited an irregular particle shape and possessed mesopores. In the phosphate adsorption test, the experiment equilibrium data were fitted better by using the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model, suggesting that the adsorption feature be monolayer. Our results showed that Meso-La(OH)3 had a maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of 57.65 mg P/g.
