The resulting LO-alumina combination exhibits record-high phosphate adsorption capacity as well as excellence in adsorption selectivity and sewage phosphate removal.enThis journal is ©The Royal Society of Chemistry 2019.Activation of natural halloysite nanotubes by introducing lanthanum oxycarbonate nanoparticles: Via co-calcination for outstanding phosphate removalJournal article003010785710.1039/c8cc10314c0004584174000222-s2.0-85061374170458197Losic, D.
