Adsorption of Mo(VI) and W(VI) ions from water with nanosized anatase has been studied. This process depends on sorption conditions (temperature, contact duration, etc.) and sample characteristics (composition, specific surface area, coherent scattering regions, etc.). Maximal recovery efficiency for Mo(VI) and W(VI) was achieved with the use of the samples of commercial Hombifine N (R Mo = 99.90 %) and Degussa P25 (R Mo = 99.99 %, R W = 99.75 %) and nanosized anatase modified with H 2 O 2 (R Mo,W = 99.75 %) under optimal conditions of sorption.
