| Summary: | As to overcome the eutrophication in lakes and reservoirs which is resulted from
excessive input of phosphorus due to rapid urbanization or uncontrolled agricultural activities,
Electric Arc Furnace steel slag (EAFS), a steelmaking by-product, in which the disposal of this
industrial waste considered economically unfavourable yet it’s physical and chemical
properties exhibits high potential to be great P adsorbent. The objective of this study was to
identify most suitable mathematical model in description of adsorption by using traditional
batch experiment and to investigate the effect on Phosphorus removal efficiency and
Phosphorus removal capacity by EAFS adsorption through variation of parameters such as pH,
size of slag and initial concentration of Phosphorus. Result demonstrated that, Langmuir is
suitable in describing Phosphorus removal mechanisms with the Maximum Adsorption
Capacity, |
