Retention of phosphorus by iron and aluminum-oxides-coated quartz particles.

The capacity of adsorption of P on Fe and Al-oxides-coated quartz sand has been studied. The adsorption process has been described as Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms. In all cases Langmuir equation yields better fits than Freundlich equation. The covering quartz particles with Fe and Al oxides provide a high capacity adsorption and immobilization of P from natural and waste waters. The values obtained for adsorption, desorption and adsorption/desorption cycles show that Al oxides particles provide an excellent material for construction of a P removal system for waste waters. The characteristics of this material would allow the design of a complementary filtration system to reduce P levels in the effluent, reducing contamination risks and combating eutrophication of nearby watercourses.[1]
