Abstract
Activated alumina (Al2O3) has been widely used to remove aqueous anionic pollutants such as phosphate for preventing the eutrophication phenomenon. While Al2O3, as a fine powder material, cannot be stably packed into continuous flow treatment, which limits its practical applications. Herein, we proposed a new strategy in which Al2O3 was encapsulated by calcium alginate (CA) to fabricate Al2O3/CA composite, which has relatively large particle size and can be suitable for application in columns. The BET surface area of Al2O3/CA increased to 51.73 m2/g compared with 37.31 m2/g of Al2O3. The maximum adsorption capacity of phosphate on Al2O3/CA was estimated at 1.92-fold compared with that of pure Al2O3 by Langmuir fitting. The main mechanism of phosphate adsorption was the formation of aluminum phosphate precipitation. Moreover, the column studies showed that the adsorption of phosphate on Al2O3/CA was affected by the amount of outer calcium alginate, bed height, influent flow rates and phosphate concentration. This study demonstrated that Al2O3/CA composite has better adsorption capacity and can be used in the dynamic adsorption system as a promising approach for phosphate removal from water.

Abstract
The application of ferrate (Fe(VI)) and ferric chloride as coagulants for treating phosphate wastewater in the presence of kaolin clay particles was comparatively studied. The phosphate removal processes by ferrate and ferric chloride assisted with kaolin clay particles were investigated under different Fe/P molar ratios. At neutral pH, complete removal of phosphates by ferrate and ferric chloride was observed at 2:1 and 6:1 of Fe/P molar ratio, respectively. The effect of kaolin clay particles on the phosphate removal process was discussed by zeta potential, size particle distribution, FTIR and XPS. We showed that with the increase of Fe/P molar ratio, the interaction intensity of kaolin clay particles with Fe flocs was decreased by ferric chloride coagulation while firstly increased and then decreased by ferrate. This depends on the Fe species with positive charge from ferric chloride hydrolysis and ferrate decomposition. Phosphate can inhibit the formation of FeOH2+ and Fe(OH)2+ in the ferric chloride hydrolysis but promote the formation of FeOOH and Fe(OH)2+ in the ferrate decomposition. Kaolin clay particles can more remarkably promote phosphate removal by ferrate than by ferric chloride.

Recent technologies for nutrient removal and recovery from wastewaters: A review. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 277:130328. [PMID: 33794428 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.130328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Water scarcity and its pollution has become a concern in recent times. The disposal of nutrient-rich (nitrogen and phosphorous) wastewater is also one of the main cause of water pollution through eutrophication, reduced dissolved oxygen that poses threat to aquatic ecosystems. As a result, nutrient removal has become a mandate apart from the removal of organics. However, the removal of nutrients from sewage is a challenging task. Conversely, conventional biological treatment processes provide little relief in nutrient removal. The treated effluents from conventional biological processes do not achieve the stringent nutrient removal disposal standard limits and become primary cause of pollution in the receiving water bodies. This has stressed upon the need for eco-friendly, low-energy and cost-efficient nutrient removal treatment technologies. Various biological treatment combinations or variants are in use for the efficient removal of nutrients. The biological processes in itself or in combination with chemical processes are preferred over technologies based solely on physico-chemical processes for its treatment performance at lower cost. This review summarizes the existing treatment processes and their possible up-gradation with the aim to accomplish the marked effluent standards for the nutrients. The concept of conventional systems and advanced systems for nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) removal which are already developed or under development are deeply discussed. Further, the challenges of each treatment systems are abridged. Finally, the possible suggestions for the modification/retrofitting of existing treatment systems for achieving stringent disposal standards are pointed out.
