Summary:Antimony is more than an emerging pollutant in water but a scare resource. In this study,
we report an adsorbent with the record capacity so far from the balanced view of Sb(III) and
Sb(V). The composite adsorbent was fabricated by encapsulating hollow Fe 3 O 4 nanosphere
with the EDTA grafted chitosan, and it has superhigh adsorption capacity of for 657.1 mg/g
for Sb(III) and 467.3 mg/g for Sb(V), respectively. The mechanism study reveals that the ad-
sorption of Sb initializes from the Fe 3 O 4 , propagates along the chitosan with hydrogen bond,
and terminates at the inner sphere complex with the EDTA moiety in the adsorbent. In view
of the ultra-high adsorption capacity of the adsorbent, the recovered adsorbent that con-
tains abundant ( > 36.4%) highly dispersed antimony nanoparticles (600-FCSE-Sb) is applied
to Li-ion battery anode after reduction. This article provides a new idea for connecting water
treatment and electric energy storage.
