TL;DR: In this article, the adsorbent where lanthanum oxide was incorporated onto porous zeolite (La-Z), of preferable adsorption towards phosphate was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the synergistic effect between zeolite and Fe/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles, as well as the removal mechanism was investigated systematically. And the characterization by BET, TEM and XPS demonstrated that nanoscale zero-valent iron/nickel was successfully loaded onto Zeolite, and Z-Fe/Ni exhibited larger specific surface area and more uniform dispersion than unsupported nano-fe/Ni.

TL;DR: NLZ could efficiently and simultaneously remove low concentration of ammonium and phosphate from contaminated waters and showed little pH dependence in the range from pH 3 to 7, while it decreased sharply with the pH increased above pH 7.

TL;DR: The BET, SEM-EDS, FTIR and XPS analyses proved that ultrasonically reacting enhanced the surface area and pore volume of biochar and TD was supported on the biochar surface and inner pores successfully, and the dominant sorption mechanism by BCTD was the ion exchange and complexation.

TL;DR: Results showed that the modified biochars had a good effect on heavy metals immobilization and transformed acid extractable and reducible fraction into the residual fraction, and the larger surface area, higher porosity and organic matters of biochar were more beneficial to soil microbial diversity.
