The potential application of a carbon nanocomposite from battery anode materials modified with magnesium (Mg) was explored to remove phosphate from aqueous solutions. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the Mg content of the prepared Mg/C composite is around 23.5%. Laboratory batch adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherm experiments demonstrate that the composite has an extremely high phosphate adsorption capacity of 406.3 mg PO4/g, which is among the highest phosphate removal abilities reported so far. Results from XRD, SEM-EDX, and XPS analyses of the postsorption Mg/C composite indicate that phosphate adsorption is mainly controlled by the precipitation of P to form Mg-3(PO4)(2)center dot 8H(2)O and MgHPO4 center dot 1.2H(2)O nanocrystals on the surface of the adsorbent. The approach of synthesizing Mg-enriched carbon-based adsorbent described in this work provides new opportunities for disposing spent batteries and developing a low-cost and highefficiency adsorbent to mitigate eutrophication.
