Magnetic titanate nanotubes (MTNTs) have been prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method and used as adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous solution. The MTNTs are characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption analysis, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, zeta potentials analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results indicate that CoFe2O4 is formed in the hydrothermal process and implanted into the entangled network of nanotubes. The saturation magnetization of MTNTs is 9.20 emu g−1, which makes MTNTs can be readily recovered in an external magnetic field. The adsorption of Pb(II) over MTNTs is very fast and follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Additionally, Pb(II) adsorption is strongly pH dependent and the maximum adsorption capacity of MTNTs for Pb(II) reaches 442.5 mg g−1 at pH 5.0. FT-IR and XPS analysis suggest that the adsorption mechanism of MTNTs is ionic exchange between Pb(II) and Na+/H+ in the interlayer of nanotubes. Furthermore, Pb(II)-loaded MTNTs can be regenerated by saturated EDTA-2Na solution at pH 2.5 and the adsorbents can be used repeatedly.
