xcessive phosphate in water can cause severe water quality

Herein, a superstructural phosphate scavenger, La-MOF-500,

composed of La

is rationally designed by derivation from

lanthanum metal organic frameworks (La(1, 3, 5-BTC) (H

) by

calcination. La-MOF-500 has a hierarchical micro/nano structure

of microsphere-nanorod-nanoparticle: urchin-like microsphere

is comprised of many nanorods and the individual nanorod was

formed by piling up plentiful thin nanoparticles. The hierarchical

micro/nano structure provides La-MOF-500 with an intriguing

phosphate capture capacity of 173.8mg P/g and a high utilization

of lanthanum active sites, simultaneously, which was a challenge

in previous research. Moreover, La-MOF-500 exhibits a good

tolerance of foreign tolerance of foreign species. Even in thewater

from Songhua River, China, La-MOF-500 can remove phosphate

to be less than 10 μg P/L. This development is expected to be

meaningful for practical water purification.

Xintong Zhang is pursuing her PhD at School of Municipal and Environmen-

tal Engineering in Harbin Institute of Technology. She specializes in Wa-

ter-Treatment. She is working on nutrient-starvation antibacterial and fabri-

cation of corresponding adsorbent that can capture phosphate and organic

matter in water, synchronously. She has published two papers in
