Thallium (Tl) pollution has attracted environmental attention due to its high toxicity, thus the cleanup of Tl from the environment is of significance. Titanate nanomaterials (TNMs) with different morphologies can be synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction under different conditions but the knowledge of the Tl(I) removal by them is limited. Our results indicated that TNM prepared at 130 °C exhibited a nanotubular appearance and a longer reaction time resulted in the formation of perfect nanotube, while that prepared at 180 °C exhibited a nanowire-like arrangement. The nanotubular and nanowire-like TNMs possessed approximately excellent Tl(I) adsorption capacities, wide pH, and temperature application ranges but different adsorption kinetics. Inorganic ions influenced the Tl(I) removal and the inhibiting effect of heavy metal ions followed the sequence Pb(II) > Cu(II) > Cd(II) > Zn(II). The anti-interference ability and selectivity of wire-like TNMs for Tl(I) removal were higher than those of tubular TNMs. High Tl(I) uptakes of tubular and wire-like TNMs were driven by the electrostatic attraction, ion exchange with Na+/H+, and complexation with –ONa functional groups in the interlayers and Ti–OH on the surfaces of TNMs as well as microprecipitation; while their adsorption configurations were different. TNMs are promising for potential applications in Tl(I) elimination from wastewater due to the high adsorption capacity and regenerability. This work indicates that TNMs synthesized under different conditions have the similar Tl(I) adsorption performances and the preparation of TNMs used for Tl(I) removal has an undemanding synthesis condition.
