Surface Functional Group Engineering of CeO<sub>2</sub> Particles for Enhanced Phosphate Adsorption
Baile Wu, Irene M.C. Lo
Abstract
particles have high phosphate adsorption capacity at low phosphate concentrations, fast adsorption kinetics, and the ability to achieve an ultralow phosphate concentration in the real sewage effluent. This study provides an effective strategy for designing highly effective metal oxide adsorbents through surface functional group engineering.
