Mechanisms of Phosphate Removal by Synthesized Calcite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calcite was synthesized through different drying processes, and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). By bath experiments, the mechanisms of phosphate removal by synthesizing calcite were investigated. It showed that synthesis calcite had a strong capability to remove phosphate from solution. The adsorption of phosphate mainly depended on the total concentration of phosphate and pH in solution. Magnesium tended to the phosphate adsorption during pH range of 8-13.5; while it inhibited the adsorption at around pH 7. The experimental results suggested that the synthesized calcite with aged process could effectively remove the phosphate from an alkaline aqueous solution.
