Removal Of Phosphate By Sorption On Activated Alumina, Checkman Michael Yue Jan 1970

Removal Of Phosphate By Sorption On Activated Alumina, Checkman Michael Yue

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to study the removal of phosphorus from waste water by sorption on activated alumina, and determine the capacity of the alumina to sorb phosphates in the presence of other ions, the effect of the influent flow rate and phosphorus concentration on the efficiency of the process, and the feasibility of regeneration of the used alumina. The studies were conducted using deionized and tap water to which inorganic phosphate had been added, and secondary effluent from bench-scale activated sludge units. They involved batch tests employing three types of activated alumina, ALCOA XM (minus 325 mesh), …
