The as-obtained porous microspheres exhibit a specific surface area of 94.752 mg·g-1, pore volume of 0.814 cm3.g-1, and ca. 84.0% of which have a diameter of 2.25-3.40 μm. The thermal decomposition of the porous MgBO2（OH） microspheres （650 ℃, 2.5 ℃. min-l） leads to the porous Mg2B2O5 rnicrospheres with well-retained morphology. When utilized as the adsorbents for the removal of CR from mimic waste water, the present porous MgBO2（OH） microspheres exhibit satisfactory adsorption capacity, with the maximum adsorption capacity qm of 309.1 mg-g-1, much higher than that derived from most of the referenced adsorbents. This opens a new window for the facile green hydrothermal synthesis of the hierarchical porous MgBO2（OH） microspheres, and extends the potential application of the 3D hierarchical porous metal borates as high-efficiency adsorbents for organic dyes removal.展开更多
