Nitrogen and phosphorus removal from sewage effluent in amended sand columns
TLDR
In this article, column experiments were conducted to examine the removal of phosphorus and nitrogen from sewage effluent by passage through sand amended with bauxite refining residue (red mud). Red mud was neutralized with 5% gypsum.About:
