The non-magnetic capping materials are difficult to be recycled from the water bodies after their application, leading to the increase in the cost of the sediment remediation. To address this issue, a capping material, i.e., magnetic lanthanum/iron-modified bentonite (M-LaFeBT) was prepared by loading lanthanum onto a magnetic iron-modified bentonite (M-FeBT) and used to control the internal phosphorus (P) loading in this study. To determine the capping efficiency and mechanism of M-LaFeBT, the impact of M-LaFeBT and M-FeBT capping on the mobilization of P in sediments was investigated, and the stabilization of P bound by the M-LaFeBT and M-FeBT capping layers was evaluated. Results showed that M-LaFeBT possessed good magnetic property with a saturated magnetization of 14.9 emu/g, and exhibited good phosphate adsorption ability with a maximum monolayer sorption capacity (Q(MAX)) of 14.3 mg P/g at pH 7. Moreover, M-LaFeBT capping tremendously reduced the concentration of soluble reactive P (SR-P) in the overlying water (OL-water), and the reduction efficiencies were 94.7%-97.4%. Furthermore, M-LaFeBT capping significantly decreased the concentration of SR-P in the pore water and DGT (diffusive gradient in thin films)-labile P in the profile of OL-water and sediment. Additionally, most of P bound by the M-LaFeBT capping layer (approximately 77%) was stable under natural pH and reducing conditions. The phosphate adsorption ability for M-LaFeBT was much higher than that for MFeBT, and the Q(MAX) value for the former was 4.86 times higher than that for the latter. M-LaFeBT capping gave rise to a higher reduction of DGT-labile concentration in the profile of OL-water and sediment than M-FeBT capping. The P adsorbed by the M-LaFeBT capping layer was more stable than that by the M-FeBT capping layer. Results of this study demonstrate that M-LaFeBT is promising for utilization as an active capping material to intercept sedimentary P release into OL-water. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
