Area of Science:

  • Environmental Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Water Treatment

Background:

  • Phosphate contamination in water bodies leads to eutrophication.
  • Effective and regenerable sorbent materials are needed for phosphate removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To immobilize zirconium(IV) onto a phosphoric acid resin (RGP).
  • To evaluate the phosphate sorption capacity and efficiency of the modified resin.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of zirconium(IV) onto RGP.
  • Phosphate sorption experiments under varying pH and electrolyte conditions.
  • Elution and regeneration studies.

Main Results:

  • Zr(IV)-loaded RGP demonstrated a phosphate sorption capacity of 0.345 mmol/ml.

  • Effective phosphate removal was observed even at pH 8.21.
  • Sorption was enhanced by electrolytes and the material allowed high flow rates.
  • Quantitative elution of phosphate was achieved using 0.5M NaOH.

    • Conclusions:

    • Zr(IV)-loaded RGP functions as an effective ligand exchanger for phosphate removal.
    • The material shows high capacity, good performance under various conditions, and regenerability.
    • This offers a viable method for treating inorganic phosphate in wastewater.
