Red mud granular adsorbent (RMGA), which was applied to remove phosphate from aqueous solution in this research, was manufactured with red mud (a solid waste from alumina industry) as the main raw material. Based on the combined adsorption-regeneration experiment. RMGA sintered at 1000 degrees C was selected for further characterization. Through the process of sintering, both the alkalinity and the surface of RMGA were ameliorated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the components with -OH and -SO4 were the functional groups for phosphate adsorption. The removal of phosphate by RMGA was weakly affected by the common coexisting ions in solution (such as Cl-, NO3- and SO42-), but strongly depended on pH and contact time. RMGA performed relatively better at pH, (the initial pH in solution) of 3.0-6.0, and equilibrium could be reached after 7 h. The kinetics studies presented that phosphate removal by RMGA mainly followed the pseudo second-order model. The initial phosphate removal rate was faster at lower pH,, since the electrostatic repulsion between RMGA and phosphate was enhanced as pH increased. The pH in solution rose during phosphate removal process, and the mechanism for phosphate removal was divided into two stages: the removal of phosphate within 1 h was mainly attributed to phosphate adsorption on RMGA; while that after 1 h was the combined effect of adsorption and precipitation, which resulted in the appearance of the maximum phosphate removal capacity (6.64 mg g(-1)) at pH, 5.00.
