Phosphate concentrations in eutrophic surface waters are usually low, and efficient removal of low concentration phosphate remains a challenge. In this study, Ca-doped LaMnO synthesized at doping ratios, designated as CaLaMnO (x = 0, 0.2, 0.

To avoid this and effectively control the eutrophication of water bodies, biochar (BC) was synthesized, herein, by pyrolyzing waste sheep manure at 500°C, and Ca-Al-LDHs were loaded on the surface via a coprecipitation method to obtain Ca-Al-LDHs-BC(CA) composites with varying LDH contents. The fitted maximum adsorption capacities of the CA-5%, CA-10%, CA-15%, and CA-20% samples (corresponding to samples with 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% LDHs, respectively) were 10.

Herein, synchronous organophosphorus oxidation and adsorption removal were achieved using electrochemically coupled metal-hydroxide nanomaterials. La-Ca/Fe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites prepared using the impregnation method removed both phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate, IHP) and hydroxy ethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) acid under an applied electric field.

In order to explore the effect of different B-site metals regulating La-based perovskites on phosphate adsorption, three La-based perovskites (LaBO, B = Fe, Al, and Mn) were prepared using the citric acid sol-gel method. Adsorption experiments showed that LaFeO exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for phosphate, which was 2.

During industrial operations and in confined places, carbon monoxide (CO) may collect in harmful proportions if ventilation is insufficient or appliances are not properly maintained. When the concentration of CO is too high, it might result in suffocation, coma, or even death. The detection of tiny concentrations of CO plays an important role in safe production.

Adsorption of four polar components, namely phytic acid (IHP), adenosine-5'-disodium triphosphate (5-ATP), hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP), and sodium pyrophosphate (PP), was studied. The adsorption properties and mechanism of phosphorus sorption by BC-La were analyzed by SEM-EDS and FTIR for the different structures.

In order to improve the phosphate adsorption capacity of Ca-loaded biochar at a wide range of pH values, Ca (oyster shell) was loaded as Ca(OH) on the tobacco stalk biochar (Ca-BC), which was prepared by high-temperature calcination, ultrasonic treatment, and stirring impregnation method. The phosphorus removal performance of Ca-BC adsorption was studied by batch adsorption experiments, and the mechanism of Ca-BC adsorption and phosphorus removal was investigated by SEM-EDS, FTIR, and XRD. The results showed that after high-temperature calcination, oyster shells became CaO, then converted into Ca(OH) in the process of stirring impregnation and had activated the pore expansion effect of biochar.

In order to effectively reduce the loss of soil organic phosphorus, this manuscript investigated the adsorption of soil organic phosphorus by lanthanum modified biochar (BC), traditional adsorbent gypsum (GY) and zeolite (ZE) by taking phytic acid as the representative. The adsorption isotherm model and kinetic models were used to fit the phosphorus absorption characteristics of the adsorbents.
