Summary

This review examines lanthanum-based materials as adsorbents for removing phosphate from water to combat eutrophication in surface water bodies. Researchers surveyed different forms of lanthanum nanoadsorbents and found them highly effective at capturing phosphate from contaminated water. The study highlights how advanced material science approaches can address water quality challenges that often co-occur with other environmental pollutants like microplastics.

Study Type Environmental

In the past decade, eutrophication and phosphate recovery from surface water have become major issues. Adsorption is an effective method for phosphate removal because of its high efficiency. Even though lanthanum-based compounds are effective at removing phosphate from water, outside factors influence them. Hence, it is vital to develop and employ cost-effective innovations to fulfill ever-tougher requirements and address the issue of water contamination. Adsorption technology is highly effective in phosphate removal at concentrations from wastewater. This work briefly describes the preparation of lanthanum nano-adsorbents for the removal of phosphate efficiently in water, and phosphate adsorption on La-based adsorbents in various La forms. The work presented in this study offers an outline for future phosphate adsorption studies in La-based adsorbents, resulting in La-based materials with substantial adsorption capacity and strong regeneration capability.
