the thesis Water potable resources contamination significantly affects on human health, especially underground water, one of the main water sources for Vietnamese people To our knowledge, groundwater can be polluted by various contaminants like arsenic, ammonium, fluorine, nitrate, and phosphate Regarding to arsenic pollution in groundwater in Vietnam, it has been studied by many national and international scientists The results showed that there are many provinces and cities across the country with arsenic concentrations in excess of the regulation standards such as Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Ha Nam However, phosphate contamination and its accumulation in groundwater over time have not been much investigated in Vietnam It is necessary to understand the presence of phosphate in water because it affects the quality of water sources and as much to human health The sources for phosphate presence in groundwater can be explained by human activities such as using chemical fertilizers in agriculture, domestic wastewater, leachates, and livestock waste water Up to date, to remove arsenic and phosphate in water, there are many methods such as: co-precipitation method, adsorption method, ion exchange method, and membrane method In particular, the adsorption method is currently widely used because of its effectively high treatment efficiency, environmentally friendly methods, diverse precusor sources The use of natural materials or the use of high-valence metals such as iron oxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide resulted in good potentail phosphate removal However, many researchers agreed that the oxides of rare earth elements have many more advantages Some of them are widely applied in practice, especially for environmental treatment such as lanthanum, cerium in nano size On one hand, the nano lanthanum oxides and nano cerium oxides have good ability to handle arsenic and phosphate On the other hand, it is still quietly expensive in compare with other materials Therefore, lanthanum oxide nanoparticles, cerium oxide are often deposited on laterite carriers for better economic efficiency Laterite has many advantages compared to other materials in nature such as abundant reserves, simple mining and activation process, capable of handling high concentration of arsenic and phosphate Therefore, the use of nano lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide nano as a material to treat arsenic and phosphate pollution in water was conducted in the thesis " Study on denaturation of Laterite ores by La2O3 and CeO2 to treat arsenic and phosphate in water” The thesis was completed with the main following contents The main content of the thesis Synthesization and structural characterization of nano La2O3, nano CeO2, nano La2O3CeO2 on laterite by sol - gel

New contributions of the thesis Successfully synthesized types of nano materials La2O3, nano CeO2, La2O3-CeO2 nano-mixed materials and modified La2O3-CeO2 nanomaterials on laterite by sol-gel combustion method using gelatin Fully investigated the arsenic and phosphate adsorption capacity in water of the four types of nano materials La2O3, nano CeO2, La2O3-CeO2 nanomaterials and La2O3-CeO2 nanomaterials on laterite The layout of the thesis The thesis consists of 95 pages with 25 tables, 49 figures and 98 references The thesis is composed of a 2-page introduction, an overview of 28 pages, experimental and methodology of 12 pages, results and discussion of 54 pages and conclusions of pages CONTENTS OF THE THESIS Chapter Literature review On the basis of document analysis, this chapter summarized arsenic and phosphate pollution in groundwater, the harmful effects of arsenic and phosphate pollution on human health Especially, this chapeter provided the evident of the increasing phosphate concentration in underground water The process of removing arsenic and phosphate has many methods such as co-precipitation method, ion exchange method, adsorption method To treat arsenic in water thoroughly, it is possible to combine methods of precipitation, sedimentation and filtration Currently, the adsorption method is widely applied because of its high treatment efficiency, environmentally friendly method, meeting the purpose of treatment requirements The use of natural materials or the use of high-valence metals such as iron oxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide resulted promissingly arsenic and phosphate removal But recently, many researchers showed that the oxides of rare earth elements have many advantages, which are widely applied in practice, especially in environmental treatment such as lanthanum, cerium, especially in the form of nano The nano lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide nano have good ability to handle arsenic and phosphate However, to use lanthanum oxide nanoparticles, cerium oxide in water treatment applications and meeting economic efficiency conditions, nano-lanthanum materials and cerium are oftenly deposited on laterite carriers Laterite has many advantages compared to other materials in nature such as abundant reserves, simple mining and activation process, capable of handling arsenic and phosphate Therefore, the use of nano lanthanum oxide and cerium oxide nano as a material to treat arsenic and phosphate pollution in water was conducted in the thesis " Study on denaturation of Laterite ores by La2O3 and CeO2 to treat arsenic and phosphate in water” has significant scientific and practical implications Chapter Experimental and Methodology The content of chapter refers to: Types of chemicals,
