Many nanomaterials have been widely reported for removal of toxic inorganic metal ions. However, some nanoscale adsorbents are subject to serious aggregation. For example, it is very difficult to directly synthesize the monodispersed Fe(OH)3nanomaterials. Here, through using the monodispersed hierarchical γ-Al2O3nanoflowers as adsorbent supports, the Fe(OH)3colloid nanoparticles have been well deposited onto the surfaces of the hierarchical γ-Al2O3nanostructures to form γ-Al2O3/Fe(OH)3composites with hierarchical structures via an electrostatic attraction without forming large aggregates. The γ-Al2O3/Fe(OH)3composites with hierarchical structures have high specific surface areas and large pore volumes, which are used as adsorbents to remove anion species of As(V) and Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. The maximum capacities of the monodispersed γ-Al2O3/Fe(OH)3composites with hierarchical structures for As(V) and Cr(VI) are determined at 61.99 mg g−1and 24.13 mg g−1, respectively, which are higher than those of the other metal oxide nanostructures reported. In addition, the adsorption rates of As(V) and Cr(VI) onto the monodispersed γ-Al2O3/Fe(OH)3composites with hierarchical structures are rather fast. The γ-Al2O3/Fe(OH)3hierarchical micro/nanoflower structures show high adsorption capacity for removing anion species of As(V) and Cr(VI), demonstrating a promising potential in environmental remediation.
