Eutrophication of water bodies is a serious and widespread environmental problem.
Achieving low levels of phosphate concentration to prevent eutrophication is one of the …

Eutrophication and the resulting formation of harmful algal blooms (HAB) causes huge
economic and environmental damages. Phosphorus (P) from sewage effluent and …

Clay minerals and their modified derivatives have composed a large family of adsorbents
which can be used for the adsorption of most of the chemical contaminants from aqueous …

Lead (Pb) is one of the most toxic heavy metals that pose a direct threat to organisms and it
can not been degraded through microbial activities or chemical reaction. Bioavaibility and …

There is a general consensus that adsorption/desorption (ie sorption) is the major process
controlling dissolved PO4. However, many uncertainties exist with respect to PO4 sorption …

Phosphate is a vital nutrient but its presence in surface waters even at very low
concentrations can lead to eutrophication. Adsorption is often suggested as a step for …

The addition of iron is a convenient way for removing phosphorus from wastewater, but this
is often considered to limit phosphorus recovery. Struvite precipitation is currently used to …

Adsorption behavior of Bayoxide® E33 (E33) and three E33-modified sorbents for the
removal of phosphate from lake water was investigated in this study. E33-modified sorbents …

Background Phosphorus (P) fertilizer is usually applied in excess of plant requirement and
accumulates in soils due to its strong adsorption, rapid precipitation and immobilisation into …

Iron (oxyhydr) oxides participate in a variety of geochemical processes, and hence control
the cycling of elements and quality of soils. The present work provides information about the …
