10 Mar 2014-Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology

TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the literature on the effectiveness of a number of sorbents, especially some novel ones that have recently emerged, in removing and recovering phosphate can be found in this article.

Abstract: Sorption is an effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly treatment process for the removal of phosphorus from wastewater sources which otherwise can cause eutrophication of receiving waters. Phosphorus in wastewater, if economically recovered, can partly overcome the future scarcity of phosphorus resulting from exhaustion of natural phosphate rock reserves. The authors present a comprehensive and critical review of the literature on the effectiveness of a number of sorbents, especially some novel ones that have recently emerged, in removing and recovering phosphate. Mechanisms and thermodynamics of sorption, as well as regeneration of sorbents for reuse using acids, bases, and salts, are critically examined.

...Simple low-cost salts such as NaCl and KCl have proved to be successful in desorbing phosphate only from sorbents with weak sorption strength where the sorption mechanism is nonspecific (ion exchange or outersphere complexation; Johir et al., 2011; Xu et al., 2010; Xu et al., 2011)....

Abstract: The aim of this work is to present experimental results on the removal of nitrate by nitrate selective ion exchange resin, Purolite A 520E. The resin dose as the optimum condition for nitrate removal was determined. Adsorption isotherm has been modelled by Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) equations. Nitrate removal by strong base anion exchange resin Purolite A 520E was also carried out with column method. The existence of chloride and sulfate ions influenced the breakthrough capacity of the resin for nitrate. Nitrate was also effectively removed from the ground water. The nitrate sorbed on Purolite A 520E was quantitatively eluted with 0.6 M NaCl.
