Amorphous Zirconium Dioxide as a Potential Sorbent for Selective Removal of Phosphates in Aqueous

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, we fabricated the amorphous zirconium oxides by the classic sol-gel precipitation methods. SEM analysis proved that the prepared ZrO2 particles are micrometer scales and XRD further illustrated its amorphous nature. The effects of solution pH on adsorption suggests the phosphate retention onto ZrO2 was a pH-dependent process and the optimum pH values between 4.5-8.0; competition tests also demonstrated its excellent selectivity by comparing D201 resin in presence of common anions at high levels. All the results proved that ZrO2 is a promising adsorbent for P(V) sequestration.
