A series of La(III)- modified Y zeolites with different La/Y zeolite mass ratios were characterized by X-ray diffi'action, X-ray fluores- cence and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of various experimental parameters, such as pH, ionic strength, coexisting anions (CO32 , Cl-, SO24- and NO3-) and temperature, on the phosphate adsorption. The capacity of the La (III)-modified Y zeolite to remove phosphate increased as the La/Y zeolite mass ratio increased and after 4 h, a phosphate removal efficiency of 95% was achieved for a La/Y zeolite mass ratio of 0.10.
