Preparation, characterization and application of a Ce-Ti oxide adsorbent for enhanced removal of arsenate from water.

TL;DR: Environmental scanning electronic microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectroscopic investigations revealed that the amorphous Ce-Ti hybrid adsorbent was composed of some nanoparticles in the size range of 100-200 nm, which aggregated to form the porous hybrid Adsorbent, and theAmorphous compositions and the small nanoparticles were related to the high sorption capacity for As(V).
