Application of chemical coagulation to phosphorus removal from glyphosate wastewater

Glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in world, is routinely applied to control weeds both agricultural and urban settings. Glyphosate wastewater that has been treated with Fenton’s reagent a high phosphorus content potential cause environmental pollution. However, concentration means it may be possible recover from glyphosate-rich wastewater. To date there have relatively few studies on removal glyphosate We therefore carried out pilot scale study investigate recovery this using chemical coagulation evaluated effect of various parameters, such as initial pH, reaction time, coagulant dosage type coagulant. The experimental results demonstrate total efficiency about 68% was achieved for glycine efficiencies N-(Phosphonomethyl) iminodiacetic acid containing 6% exceeded 90% under optimal conditions.
