Abstract
Phosphorus to an optimum extent is an essential nutrient for all living organisms and its scarcity may cause food security, and environmental preservation issues vis-à-vis agroeconomic hurdles. Undesirably excess phosphorus intensifies the eutrophication problem in non-marine water bodies and disrupts the natural nutrient balance of the ecosystem. To overcome such dichotomy, biodegradable polymer-based adsorbents have emerged as a cost-effective and implementable approach in striking a "desired optimum-undesired excess" balance pertaining to phosphate in a sustainable manner. So far, the reports on adopting such adsorbent-approach for wastewater remediation remained largely scattered, unstructured, and poorly correlated. In this background, the contextual review comprehensively discusses the current state-of-the-art in utilizing biodegradable polymeric frameworks as an adsorbent system for phosphate removal and its efficient recovery from the aquatic ecosystem, while highlighting their characteristics-specific functional efficiency vis-à-vis easiness of synthetic and commercial viability. The overview further delves into the sources and environmental ramifications of excessive phosphorus in water bodies and associated mechanistic pathways of phosphorus removal via adsorption, precipitation, and membrane filtration enabled by biodegradable (natural and synthetic) polymeric substrates. Finally, functionality optimization, degradability tuning, and adsorption selectivity of biodegradable polymers are highlighted, while aiming to strike a balance in "removal-recovery-reuse" dynamics of phosphate. Thus, the current review not only paves the way for future exploration of biodegradable polymers in sustainable cost-effective adsorbents for phosphorus removal but also can serve as a guide for researchers dealing with this critical issue.

Abstract
The possibility of using various types of ion-exchange membranes in diffusion dialysis for the separation of sulfuric acid and nickel sulfate has been evaluated. The process of the dialysis separation of a real waste solution from an electroplating facility containing 252.3 g/L of sulfuric acid, 20.9 g/L of nickel ions and small amounts of zinc, iron, copper ions, etc. has been studied. Heterogeneous cation-exchange membrane containing sulfonic groups and heterogeneous anion-exchange membranes with different thicknesses (from 145 μm to 550 μm) and types of fixed groups (four samples with quaternary ammonium base and one sample with secondary and tertiary amines) have been used. The diffusion fluxes of sulfuric acid, nickel sulfate, and the total and osmotic fluxes of the solvent have been determined. The use of a cation-exchange membrane does not allow the separation of the components, since the fluxes of both components are low and comparable in magnitude. The use of anion-exchange membranes makes it possible to efficiently separate sulfuric acid and nickel sulfate. Anion-exchange membranes with quaternary ammonium groups are more effective in the diffusion dialysis process, while the thin membrane turns out to be the most effective.

Abstract
Excess phosphate in water can cause eutrophication, which must be addressed. Despite many efforts devoted to the adsorptive removal of phosphate from water, the development of new adsorbents with high adsorption capacity is highly desirable. Herein, a novel nanocomposite was proposed for phosphate removal by confining hydrated ferric oxide (HFO) nanoparticles into a cellulose aerogel (CA) network named as HFO@CA. Benefiting from the characteristics of the low density and porous structure of CA, the internal surface of the nanocomposite is more accessible and thus improves the utilization of the HFO nanoparticles. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the phosphate uptake by the prepared adsorbent. The maximum adsorption capacity of HFO@CA occurs at near-acidic pH. With increasing temperature, the composite adsorbent is more favorable for phosphate adsorption. Moreover, the hybrid aerogel exhibited fast kinetic behavior for phosphate removal, which could be accurately depicted by pseudo-second-order model. HFO@CA shows excellent adsorption selectivity in solutions containing competitive anions at higher levels. In addition, five cycles of the phosphate adsorption experiments without obvious capacity loss indicated that HFO@CA has great regenerability. These results demonstrate that HFO@CA has a wide field of application with good prospects in phosphate removal from wastewater, which also provides a new strategy to prepare adsorbents with excellent performance using renewable cellulose resources.

Abstract
As the increase of global industrial activities, phosphate from industrial wastes such as sewage sludge has become one of the limiting factors for water eutrophication. Herein, lanthanum carbonate hydroxide (La(CO3)OH)/magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles functionalized porous biochar (La/Fe-NBC) with high phosphate adsorption properties is synthesized through molten salt pyrolysis-coprecipitation-hydrothermal multi-step regulation, and further reveal the related processes and mechanisms. La(CO3)OH functions as active sites for phosphate adsorption, Fe3O4 imparts magnetic properties to the composite substance, also porous biochar (NBC) acts as the carrier to prevent the agglomeration of La(CO3)OH and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The adsorption process of La/Fe-NBC for phosphate fits to the Pseudo-Second Order and Langmuir model, with the theoretical maximum adsorption capacity up to 99.46 mg P/g. And La/Fe-NBC possesses excellent magnetic field (14.50 emu/g), stability, and selectivity, which enables for efficient multiple recovery and reuse. Mechanistic studies have shown that ligand exchange (inner-sphere complexation) between phosphate and carbonate/hydroxyl groups of La(CO3)OH, and electrostatic attraction play the dominant roles during adsorption process, although susceptible to the solution pH. While co-precipitation is not influenced of pH conditions but with limited contribution to phosphate adsorption. This study may facilitate to optimize the synthesis design of phosphate multi-functional composites for low-carbon and sustainable treatment of industrial phosphate-containing wastes.

Abstract
Expansion of the aquaculture industry has been accompanied by environmental impact as the discharged effluent contains excess nutrients such as phosphorus compounds. Recovery of such nutrients is not economically feasible as it presents in trace amounts. Furthermore, brackish aquaculture effluent which contains high sodium chloride (NaCl) content makes the treated solution inappropriate for fertilizer production. Herein, this study proposed a diafiltration-nanofiltration route to perform a simultaneous phosphate concentrating and osmotion (sodium) removal from brackish aquaculture effluent. Effects of operating pressure, phosphate, and sodium content on membrane performance were first determined using Desal-5 DK membrane with three types of solutions namely (i) freshwater without NaCl, (ii) dilute brackish water with 1,500 mg/L NaCl, and (iii) brackish water with 10,000 mg/L NaCl. It was found that at 4 bar operating pressure, it could achieve higher phosphate rejection and sodium permeance. The presence of NaCl negatively influenced both phosphate rejection and concentrating factor (CF) due to the salt screening effect. It was noteworthy that negative sodium rejection (up to -16%, CF <1) could be attained, indicating the concentrating effect for sodium was negligible. The concentrating process was effective to concentrate phosphate by 2-fold but less effective in removing sodium. Diafiltration was then introduced and resulted in about 76% of sodium removal. Diafiltration-nanofiltration (DF-NF) mode was shown to be a more efficient method than nanofiltration-diafiltration (NF-DF) mode as phosphate could be concentrated up to 2 factors with 99 wt% of sodium being removed from the real brackish aquaculture effluent. These findings showed that DF-NF is a feasible approach for concentrating phosphate while removing sodium ions from aquaculture effluent and the recovered nutrient solution has huge potential to be applied as liquid fertilizer for hydroponic plants.

Abstract
While many nutrient recovery technologies target liquid waste streams, new strategies are required for effective phosphorus recovery from solid waste. This study reports an innovative ligand-enabled Donnan dialysis process to recover orthophosphate (P(V)) from alum-laden waste activated sludge (WAS). Four ligands, namely acetate, citrate, ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), and oxalate, were evaluated for P(V) release from a synthetic sludge containing 5 mM P(V) and 25 mM Al(III) and a real, alum-laden WAS with similar contents. Citrate and EDTA released more than 95% of P(V) at doses of 30 mM, outperforming acetate and oxalate. The ligand-based solubilization strategy was coupled with Donnan dialysis to recover P(V) into a clean sodium chloride draw solution. After Donnan dialysis with the synthetic sludge, the P(V) recovery's order was as follows: EDTA (54.4%) > citrate (41.7%) > oxalate (4.3%). The P(V) recovery efficiencies were slightly lower for Donnan dialysis with real, alum-laden WAS, namely 45.1% and 25.2% for EDTA and citrate addition, respectively, due to competitive effects exerted by other dissolved species. These promising results successfully demonstrated the proof-of-concept for ligand-enabled Donnan dialysis.

Abstract
This study aimed to fabricate new and effective material for the efficiency of phosphate adsorption. Two types of adsorbent materials, the zirconium hydroxides embedded in pomegranate peel (Zr/Peel) and zirconium-lanthanum hydroxides embedded in pomegranate peel (Zr-La/Peel) were developed. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) were evaluated to give insight into the physicochemical properties of these adsorbents. Zr-La/Peel exceeded the adsorption efficiency of Zr/Peel adsorbents in batch adsorption experiments at the same pH level. The peel as a host can strive to have a strong "shielding effect" to increase the steadiness of the entrenched Zr and La elements. La and Zr are hydroxide metals that emit many hydrogen ions during the hydrolysis reaction, which contribute to protonation and electrostatic attraction. The highest adsorption capacity of La-Zr/Peel for phosphate was calculated to be 40.21 mg/g, and pseudo second-order equation is very well fitted for kinetic adsorption. Phosphate adsorption efficiency was reduced by an increase of pH. With the background of coexisting Cl-, little effect on adsorption efficiency was observed, while adsorption capacities were reduced by almost 20-30% with the coexistence of [Formula: see text] , [Formula: see text] and humic acid (HA).

Abstract
A simple non-steady state mathematical model is proposed for the process of purification of an amino acid solution from mineral salts by the method of neutralization dialysis (ND), carried out in a circulating hydrodynamic mode. The model takes into account the characteristics of membranes (thickness, exchange capacity and electric conductivity) and solution (concentration and components nature) as well as the solution flow rate in dialyzer compartments. In contrast to the known models, the new model considers a local change in the ion concentration in membranes and the adjacent diffusion layers. In addition, the model takes into consideration the ability of the amino acid to enter the protonation/deprotonation reactions. A comparison of the results of simulations with experimental data allows us to conclude that the model adequately describes the ND of a strong electrolyte (NaCl) and amino acid (phenylalanine) mixture solutions in the case where the diffusion ability of amino acids in membranes is much less, than mineral salts. An example shows the application of the model to predict the fluxes of salt ions through ion exchange membranes as well as pH of the desalination solution at a higher than in experiments flow rate of solutions in ND dialyzer compartments.
