In this paper, we report the removal of PO43- from water by using a pillared rectorite that we synthesized recently. The results show that cross-linking can significantly increase the adsorbing capacity of Na-rectorite for phosphates. The pH, the concentrations of F-, NH4+ and COD are main factors, which affect the results for pillared rectorite to adsorb phosphates from water. The OH-, and F- ions decrease the capacity to adsorb phosphates, while the COD and NH4+ ions increase it.展开更多
