Abstract
⺠A new adsorbent of composite metal oxides (CMOMO) was synthesized from manganese ore tailings and used for phosphorus (P) removal. ⺠The kinetics data were best fitted by the Elovich model due to the high heterogeneity of the adsorbent. ⺠P adsorption by CMOMO was an endothermic process, with a satisfactory maximum adsorption capacity. ⺠This adsorbent showed specific adsorption capacity towards P, and P is adsorbed mainly by formation of inner-sphere surface complexes. ⺠P adsorption by CMOMO was reversible using alkali solution as an eluent.
