TLDR
In this paper, the authors used FTIR spectroscopy to identify and characterize aluminum species formed during dephosphorization of simulated wastewater with and without organic matter, and found that aluminum solid species with different surface properties were formed depending on solution components and method of precipitation.

Recent advances in removing phosphorus from wastewater and its future use as fertilizer (1997-2003).

TL;DR: This comprehensive review summarizes the current status in phosphorus-removal technologies from the most common approaches, like metal precipitation, constructed wetland systems, adsorption by various microorganisms either in a free state or immobilized in polysaccharide gels, to enhanced biological phosphorus removal using activated sludge systems, and several innovative engineering solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of phosphate species from solution by adsorption onto calcite used as natural adsorbent.

TL;DR: P pH plays an important role in the removal of phosphate species from solution, with removal being more efficient in the basic pH region, and adsorption is also efficient for high ratios phosphate/adsorbent.

Metal-organic frameworks: Challenges and opportunities for ion-exchange/sorption applications

TL;DR: In this article, a review focused on metal-organic materials as sorbents for ions by surveying MOFs with respect to their exchange/sorption capacities in association with their synthesis and structural characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effectiveness of a drinking-water treatment sludge in removing different phosphorus species from aqueous solution

TL;DR: In this article, a series of batch adsorption tests were conducted using a wide range of phosphorus (P) species to determine the adaption capacities of freshly dewatered aluminium salt based DWTS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Humic substances interfere with phosphate removal by Lanthanum modified clay in controlling eutrophication.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that the presence of humic substances can interfere with the FRP removal by the La-modified bentonite is supported and the applicability of exclusively Phoslock(®) as FRP binder should be met critically in DOC-rich inland waters.

Infra-red spectra of inorganic aluminates and characteristic vibrational frequencies of AlO4 tetrahedra and AlO6 octahedra

TL;DR: In this article, some aspects of the interpretation of IR spectra of inorganic solids are discussed, with emphasis on the factors influencing the vibrational frequencies of cation-oxygen co-ordinated groups.

Chemical aspects of coagulation using aluminum salts—I. Hydrolytic reactions of alum and polyaluminum chloride

TL;DR: In this article, the chemistry of Al coagulants is investigated and the results suggest that when using alum, some of the adverse effects of low temperatures may be mitigated by an increase in pH, thereby maintaining a constant concentration of the complexing ligand, OH −.
