    Abstract:
    Organic phosphonates have been widely used in various industries and are ubiquitous in wastewaters, and efficient removal of phosphonates is still a challenge for the conventional processes because of the severe interferences from the complex water constitutions. Herein, an Nd-based nanocomposite (HNdO@PsAX) was fabricated by immobilizing hydrated neodymium oxide (HNdO) nanoparticles inside a polystyrene anion exchanger (PsAX) to remove phosphonates from high-salinity aqueous media. Batch experiments demonstrated that HNdO@PsAX had an excellent adsorption capacity (∼90.5 mg P/g-Nd) towards a typical phosphonate (1-hydrox-yethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, HEDP) from the background of 8 g/L NaCl, whereas negligible HEDP adsorption was achieved by PsAX. Attractively, various coexisting substances (humic acid, phosphate, citrate, EDTA, metal ligands, and anions) exerted negligible effects on the HEDP adsorption by HNdO@PsAX under high salinity. FT-IR and XPS analyses revealed that the inner-sphere complexation between HEDP and the immobilized HNdO nanoparticles is responsible for HEDP adsorption. Fixed-bed experiments further verified that HNdO@PsAX was capable of successively treating more than 4500 bed volumes (BV) of a synthetic high-salinity wastewater (1.0 mg P/L of HEDP), whereas only ∼2 BV of effective treatment capacity was received by PsAX. The exhausted HNdO@PsAX was amenable to a complete regeneration by a binary NaOHNaCl solution without significant loss in capacity. The capability in removing other organic phosphonates and treating a real electroplating wastewater by HNdO@PsAX was further validated. Generally, HNdO@PsAX exhibited a great potential in efficiently removing phosphonates from high-salinity wastewater.
