Abstract

This disclosure relates to a method for the treatment of fluids and provides a nanomaterial for treating fluids. The nanomaterial disclosed can be a halloysite nanotube modified with Fe 2 O 3 . The nanomaterial can be designed to have a selective affinity toward ions such as phosphate and can be used to treat water. The disclosure further includes a method for preparing a material by, for example, modifying a halloysite nanotube with Fe 2 O 3 .

Claims (6)

1. A method for treating a fluid comprising:

providing a nanomaterial including a halloysite nanomaterial modified with Fe 2 O 3 ; and

using the nanomaterial for treating the fluid.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the halloysite nanomaterial includes a halloysite nanotube material.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nanomaterial is used to remove phosphate from the fluid.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid is water.
