Confined La₂O₃ particles in mesoporous carbon material for enhanced phosphate adsorption.

ABSTRACT: Novel phosphate adsorbents with confined La₂O₃ inside mesoporous carbon were fabricated by the solid-state grinding method using pristine mesoporous carbon material CMK-3 (PCMK-3) and oxidized CMK-3 (OCMK-3) as the matrixes (denoted as La₂O₃@PCMK-3 and La₂O₃@OCMK-3). Compared with pure La₂O₃, La₂O₃@PCMK-3 and La₂O₃@OCMK-3 exhibited higher normalized phosphate adsorption capacity, indicative of efficient loading of La₂O₃ inside the mesopores of the carbon materials. Furthermore, La₂O₃ loading led to substantially enhanced phosphate adsorption. The adsorption capacities of La₂O₃@OCMK-3 samples wer
