Abstract

(Fe, Al, Cu) oxide/bentonite nanocomposite – FACB, was simply prepared by co-precipitation of salts of Fe, Al and Cu, which were impregnated previously in the exfoliated bentonite suspension. Characterization of the FACB is performed by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Nitrogen adsorption isotherm, and Thermal analysis. The adsorption behavious of phosphate ion on the FACB was assessed. The material has a good ability of phosphate adsorption with high adsorption rate and adsorption capacity of 55.87 mg P/g at equilibrium concentration of phosphate solution of 24.13 mg/l.
