Titanate　nanomaterials　(TNs)　were　synthesized　via　a　simple　hydrothermal　method.　The　physical-chemical　properties　of　the　as-prepared　TNs,　such　as　morphology,　structure,　surface　area,　and　chemical　composition,　were　characterized　by　XRD,　SEM,　and　BET.　The　absorption　capability　and　adsorptive　mechanism　of　Cr　(VI)　in　aqueous　solutions　were　tested　in　the　static　system.　The　results　showed　that　the　TNs　prepared　with　reaction　time　of　24　h　were　in　pure　monoclinic　phase　which　aggregated　mutually　to　form　a　unique　layered　structure.　TNs　were　considered　excellent　adsorbents　to　Cr　(VI).　When　pH　1,　the　adsorption　capacity　was　up　to　83.91　mg/g.　The　adsorption　kinetics　of　Cr　(VI)　followed　the　pseudo-first　order　model.　The　equilibrium　adsorption　time　of　TNs　was　80　min.　The　Langmuir　isotherm　model　fitted　the　equilibrium　data　best.　The　adsorption　of　Cr　(VI)　onto　TNs　was　an　exothermic　process,　and　the　adsorption　process　was　mainly　composed　of　electrostatic　attraction.　The　structure　of　TNs　basically　remained　unchanged　after　adsorption.
