| dc.description.abstract | Adsorption onto ferric hydroxide is a known method to reach very low residual phosphate concentrations. Silicate is omnipresent in surface and industrial waters and reduces the adsorption capacity of ferric hydroxides. The present article focusses on the influences of silicate concentration and contact time on the adsorption of phosphate to a micro-sized iron hydroxide adsorbent (μGFH) and fits adsorption data to multi-component adsorption isotherms. In Berlin drinking water (DOC of approx. 4 mg L−1) at pH 7.0, loadings of 24 mg g−1 P (with 3 mg L−1 initial PO43−–P) and 17 mg L−1 Si (with 9 mg L−1 initial Si) were reached. In deionized water, phosphate shows a high percentage of reversible bonds to μGFH while silicate adsorption is not reversible probably due to polymerization. Depending on the initial silicate concentration, phosphate loadings are reduced by 27, 33 and 47% (for equilibrium concentrations of 1.5 mg L−1) for 9, 14 and 22 mg L−1 Si respectively. Out of eight tested multi-component adsorption models, the Extended Freundlich Model Isotherm (EFMI) describes the simultaneous adsorption of phosphate and silicate best. Thus, providing the means to predict and control phosphate removal. Longer contact times of the adsorbent with silicate prior to addition of phosphate reduce phosphate adsorption significantly. Compared to 7 days of contact with silicate (c0 = 10 mg L−1) prior to phosphate (c0 = 3 mg L−1) addition, 28 and 56 days reduce the μGFH capacity for phosphate by 21 and 43%, respectively. | en |
