We synthesized three kinds of MnO2 powder with different crystalline phases including α-MnO2 nanoflowers, β-MnO2 nanorods and δ-MnO2 micro-particles. The structure and morphology of prepared MnO2 were studied by XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), systematically. Adsorption process was conducted in NH4Cl solution (40 mg·L-1 NH3-N) and actual water samples containing NH4+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+, respectively. The results demonstrate that δ-MnO2 with 7.2 Å interlayer spacing which is a little larger than the diameter of hydrated ammonium (6.62 Å) has high adsorption capacity; α-MnO2 with[2×2] tunnel of 4.6 Å has less adsorption capacity than that of δ-MnO2, and β-MnO2 whose[1×1] tunnel is just 1.89 Å, barely has adsorption capacity. Then MnO2NPs/GF (MnO2 nanoplates decorated graphite felt) was prepared via a facile in-situ redox process. Graphite felt (GF) was immersed in KMnO4 solution (4 g·L-1, pH=2) at 65℃ for 5 h to get MnO2NPs/GF. GF not only reacted as the reductant of KMnO4, but also acted as 3D framework to support the in-situ deposited MnO2NPs. MnO2NPs/GF shows high adsorption capacity (15 mg·g-1) and good selectivity (86.7%). In repetitive adsorption-desorption experiments, MnO2NPs/GF not only exhibits good stability after 20 cycles, but also decreases the concentration of NH3-N to as low as 1 mg·L-1. The thermodynamics experiment demonstrates that the adsorption isotherm fit well with Langmuir isotherm, and the adsorption process corresponds to the pseudo-second-order model. The excellent performance of MnO2NPs/GF is attributed to the following three aspects. Firstly, the 7.2 Å interlayer spacing of δ-MnO2 is suitable for the exchange-adsorption of NH4+. Secondly, the ultra-thin MnO2 nanoplate arrays, which vertically grow on the graphite felt substrate, provide fast path and convenient interface for ion exchange. Finally, the interlaced nanoplates with self-supported structure ensure its high stability. In a conclusion, MnO2NPs/GF has a bright future in the field of ammonium removal.
