Highly Stable and Nontoxic Lanthanum-Treated Activated Palygorskite for the Removal of Lake Water Phosphorus

Nutrient pollution of surface water, such as excess phosphate loading on lake surface water, is a significant issue that causes ecological and financial damage. Despite many technologies that can remove available phosphate, such as material-based adsorption of those available phosphate ions, the dev...
