Antimony pollution is well recognized to induce cancer and deformity. By polymerization technique, a carbon aerogel microsphere (Ce@SCA) modified by Ce and S with micron size, well-developed pore structure, and large specific surface area was created. Ce@SCA exhibited the advantages of efficient selectivity and high adsorption capacity for Sb(III) in water. The highest adsorption capacity derived using the Sips isothermal model was 345.18 mg.g(-1), and the Sb (III) adsorption process was thermodynamically estimated as spontaneous, exothermic, and entropy-decreasing chemisorption. Meanwhile, Ce...
