Ethylenediamine (EDA) functionalized mesoporous MCM-41 particles displaying various functionalization levels have been prepared by one-pot method. The prepared samples were treated with Fe(III) to form cationic complexes inside MCM-41 pores (MCM-41-NN-Fe-x%, x=10, 20 and 30) for trapping phosphate from water. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by XRD, BET, TGA and elemental analysis, and their phosphate adsorption performances were studied. The results showed that the phosphate removal rate of all the prepared adsorbents were higher than 95% at the initial phosphate concentration of 2 ppm. Additionally, the Langmuir model was used to simulate the sorption equilibrium, and the results indicated that the experiment data agreed well with the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated from the Langmuir model increased with the increase of diamino loadings in adsorbents, and the maximum adsorption capacities of MCM-41-NN-Fe-30% was 52.5 mg/g.

In water and wastewater, phosphate anions are considered critical contaminants because they cause algae blooms and eutrophication. The present work aims at studying the removal of phosphate anions from aqueous solutions using silica particles functionalized with polyethylenimine. The parameters affecting the adsorption process such as pH, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and the presence of competitive anions, such as carbonate, nitrate, sulfate and chromate ions, were studied. Equilibrium studies were carried out to determine their sorption capacity and the rate of phosphate ions uptake. The adsorption isotherm data fitted well with the Langmuir and Sips model. The maximum sorption capacity was 41.1 mg/g at pH 5, which decreased slightly at pH 7. The efficiency of phosphate removal adsorption increased at lower pH values and by increasing the adsorbent dose. The maximum phosphate removal was 80% for pH 5 and decreased to 75% for pH 6, to 73% for pH 7 and to 70% for pH 8, for initial phosphate concentration at about 1 mg/L and for a dose of adsorbent 100 mg/L. The removal rate was increased with the increase of the adsorbent dose. For example, for initial phosphate concentration of 4 mg/L the removal rate increased from 40% to 80% by increasing the dose from 0.1 to 2.0 g/L at pH 7. The competitive anions adversely affected phosphate removal. Though they were also found to be removed to a certain extent. Their co-removal provided an adsorbent which might be very useful for treating waters with low-level multiple contaminant occurrence in natural or engineered aquatic systems.

Bioretention systems are frequently employed in stormwater treatment to reduce phosphorus pollution and prevent eutrophication. To enhance their efficiency, filter additives are required but the currently used traditional materials cannot meet the primary requirements of excellent hydraulic properties as well as outstanding release and adsorption capacities at the same time. In this research, a polyurethane-biochar crosslinked material was produced by mixing the hardwood biochar (HB) with polyurethane to improve the performance of traditional filter additives. Through basic parameter tests, the saturated water content of polyurethane-biochar crosslinked material (PCB) was doubled and the permeability coefficient of PCB increased by two orders of magnitude. Due to the polyurethane, the leaching speed of phosphorus slowed down in the batching experiments and fewer metal cations leached. Moreover, PCB could adsorb 93–206 mg/kg PO43− at a typical PO43− concentration in stormwater runoff, 1.32–1.58 times more than HB, during isothermal adsorption experiments. In the simulating column experiments, weaker hydropower reduced the PO43− leaching quantities of PCB and had a stable removal rate of 93.84% in phosphate treatment. This study demonstrates the potential use of PCB as a filter additive in a bioretention system to achieve hydraulic goals and improve phosphate adsorption capacities.

By- products are widespread in the crystallization of magnesium ammonia phosphate (MAP) as the differences in reactive conditions which effects the forms and habits of crystals. The study focused on the supernatant from septic tank in order to achieve in-situ treatment. Based on the effluent, the optimization research of initial phosphate concentration and pH was investigated by using single factor analysis. The crystal products with different reaction condition were also characteristiced through the XRD analysis. The experimental results showed that the optimum reactants molar ratio of n(NH4+):n(Mg2+):n(PO43-) were 90:25:1, 4:1.6:1 and 3:1.4:1 when pH value was 9.5 with initial phosphate concentration 8mg/L, 50mg/L and 100mg/L, respectively. It was also observed that the phosphate removal rate increased with increasing the initial phosphate concentration or pH value. As the aging time increased, the removal rate was in parabolic curve with 30 minute at the highest point. The XRD analysis revealed that the best MAP crystal could be produced with initial phosphate concentration 50mg/L and pH 9.0.

Abstract A renewable, green activated carbon made from sucrose (sugar) was compared with traditional bituminous coal-based granular activated carbon (GAC). Single and multi-component competitive adsorption of nitrate and phosphate from water was investigated. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were fitted to data obtained from the nitrate and phosphate adsorption experiments. Nitrate adsorption fits closely to either Freundlich or Langmuir model for sucrose activated carbon (SAC) and GAC with a Langmuir adsorption capacity of 7.98 and 6.38 mg/g, respectively. However, phosphate adsorption on SAC and GAC demonstrated a selective fit with the Langmuir model with an adsorption capacity of 1.71 and 2.07 mg/g, respectively. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that adsorption of nitrate and phosphate follow pseudo-second-order kinetics with rate constant values of 0.061 and 0.063 g/(mg h), respectively. Competitive studies between nitrate and phosphate were demonstrated in preferential nitrate removal with GAC and preferential phosphate removal with SAC. Furthermore, nitrate and phosphate removals decreased from 75% removal to 35% removal when subject to multi-component solutions, which highlights the need for adsorption analysis in complex systems. Overall, SAC proved to be competitive with GAC in the removal of inorganic contaminants and may represent a green alternative to coal-based activated carbon.

Abstract In this study, a novel Co(II)-based adsorbent Co-H2L is developed for the removal of phosphate. The batch experiments demonstrate that the Co-H2L possesses preferable ability of phosphate capture from water in mildly acidic to neutral pHs, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 194.44 mg P g−1. Adsorption isotherms for phosphate agree with the Langmuir model, suggesting a monolayer process. The mechanism for phosphate adsorption onto Co-H2L mainly followed the coordination mechanism, and the Co valence electron orbitals play the key role in the phosphate adsorption. In addition, the Co-H2L adsorbent can selectively remove phosphate ions in the presence of the competing ions (Cl−, NO3−, and SO42−) at higher concentrations. Our results therefore indicate that the Co(II)-based adsorbent is expected to find extensive applications in phosphate removal for water management.

Abstract In this study, an ordered mesoporous silica modified with lanthanum oxide was synthesized using diatomite as silica source and applied for adsorption of phosphate from aqueous solution. By taking cost-effectiveness for practical application into consideration, the adsorbent with a theoretical La/SiO2 molar ratio of 0.2 (La0.2M41) possessed a promising performance. In the batch adsorption tests, the adsorbents with La2O3 loading possessed markedly enhanced adsorption capacities. Phosphate uptake by La0.2M41 was pH-dependent with the highest sorption capacities observed over a pH range of 3.0–6.0. Coexistent anions displayed an adverse effect on phosphate adsorption following the order of CO32−  > F−  > NO3− > Cl− > SO42−. In the kinetic study, phosphate adsorption onto La0.2M41 followed the pseudo-second-order equation better than the pseudo-first-order, suggesting chemisorption. The Langmuir isothermal model well described the adsorption isotherm data, showing a maximum adsorption capacity for phosphate of up to 263.16 mg/g at 298 K. In a real treated wastewater effluent with phosphate concentration of 2.5 mg P/L, La0.2M41 efficiently reduced the phosphate concentration to 28 µg P/L.

Metal oxide-loaded biochars are a promising material to remove phosphate from polluted water to ultra-low concentrations. To facilitate preparing the metal oxide-loaded biochar with the best phosphate adsorption performance, five biochars loaded with Al, Ca, Fe, La and Mg oxides, respectively (Al-BC, Ca-BC, Fe-BC, La-BC and Mg-BC) were produced using Phragmites australis pretreated with 0.1 mol AlCl 3 , CaCl 2 , FeCl 3 , LaCl 3 and MgCl 2 , respectively, characterized, and phosphate adsorption kinetics and isotherms of the biochars were determined. The maximum phosphate adsorption capacities ( Q m ) of the biochars ranked as Al-BC (219.87 mg g −1 ) > Mg-BC (112.45 mg g −1 ) > Ca-BC (81.46 mg g −1 ) > Fe-BC (46.61 mg g −1 ) > La-BC (38.93 mg g −1 ). The time to reach the adsorption equilibrium ranked as La-BC (1 h) < Ca-BC (12 h) < Mg-BC (24 h) = Fe-BC (24 h) <Al-BC (greater than 72 h). Q m of Ca-BC, Fe-BC, La-BC and Mg-BC depend on the molar content of metals in the biochars. The small phosphate adsorption rate of Al-BC is due to the slow intra-particle diffusion of phosphate attributed to the undeveloped porosity and dispersed distribution of AlOOH crystals on the Al-BC surface. Mg-BC is suggested for phosphate removal from water considering adsorption rate and capacity. Al-BC is applicable when a long contact time is allowed, e.g. as a capping material to immobilize phosphate in lake sediments.

Abstract Activated carbons were prepared from sewage sludge by chemical activation with pyrolusite (PAC) to develop an efficient adsorbent for phosphate removal from aqueous solution. One percent (wt.) pyrolusite addition was proved to have an important effect on pore formation of the produced carbon. PAC showed 17.06% larger Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area than the sewage sludge-based activated carbon without modification (SAC). The adsorption results showed that the phosphate removal by PAC was 13% higher than SAC's. The adsorption experiments also showed that PAC had very good performance with high phosphate removal rate (ca. 90%) in a wide pH range (pH = 4–8), and could be stable after 30 min reaction. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics studies demonstrated that phosphate adsorption onto the modified adsorbent was well fitted by the Langmuir isotherm and could be described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The modified sewage sludge-based activated carbons were effective and alternative adsorbents for the removal of phosphorus from aqueous solution due to their considerable adsorptive capacities and the low-cost renewable sources.

The efficiency of dolomite to remove phosphate from aqueous solutions was investigated. The experimental results showed that the removal of phosphate by dolomite was rapid (the removal rate over 95% in 60 min) when the initial phosphate concentration is at the range of 10–50 mg/L. Several kinetic models including intraparticle diffusion model, pseudo-first-order model, Elovich model, and pseudo-second-order model were employed to evaluate the kinetics data of phosphate adsorption onto dolomite and pseudo-second-order model was recommended to describe the adsorption kinetics characteristics. Further analysis of the adsorption kinetics indicated that the phosphate removal process was mainly controlled by chemical bonding or chemisorption. Moreover, both Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms were used to evaluate the experimental data. The results indicated that Langmuir isotherm was more suitable to describe the adsorption characteristics of dolomite. Maximum adsorption capacity of phosphate by dolomite was found to be 4.76 mg phosphorous/g dolomite. Thermodynamic studies showed that phosphate adsorption was exothermic. The study implies that dolomite is an excellent low cost material for phosphate removal in wastewater treatment process.
