Adsorptive removal of phosphate from wastewater with magnetite particles: a study on the particle size optimization

EasyChair Preprint no. 256

Abstract

Mill scale‐derived magnetite particles were synthesized and utilized in this study as an adsorbent for phosphate removal. Results obtained in this study showed that alkaline media concentration and alkaline species have a significant effect on the size distribution and phosphate adsorption capacity of synthesized magnetite particles. It was observed that increasing the alkali concentration of both bases results in a decrease in the size and size distribution of the particles. Moreover, it was found that mill scale‐derived magnetite is an effective adsorbent for the removal of phosphate from wastewater.
