Antimony pollution resulting from industrial production is a great threat to the environment, ecology and the human body. Zero-valent iron powder is low-cost and easy to obtain. Nevertheless, the lower adsorption capacity limits its application when it is used as an adsorbent. In the present study, ball-milling and acid modification were developed to change its surface characteristics and γ-Fe2O3, γ-FeOOH and Fe3O4 were obtained after treatment, which promoted its adsorption capacity. Compared with the raw iron powder, the adsorption capaciti...
