Article: Study results from Nanjing University update understanding of environmental research.

"Phosphate originated from industrial effluents is one of the key factors responsible for eutrophication of the receiving water-ways especially in the developing countries such as China. In the current study we proposed a novel process to immobilize nanoparticulate hydrated ferric oxide (HFO) within a macroporous anion exchange resin D-201, and obtained a hybrid adsorbent (HFO-201) for enhanced phosphate removal from aqueous system," scientists writing in the journal Water Research report.

"The resulting HFO-201 possesses two types of adsorption sites for phosphate removal, the ammonium groups bound to the D-201 matrix and the loaded HFO nanoparticles. The ...
