phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant and microorganisms growth, thus has an important role in creating eutrophication of surface waters. the present study has investigated poly aluminum chloride efficiency on orthophosphate removal by coagulation and chemical precipitation process in municipal wastewater in west wastewater treatment plant. this bench scale study was performed on influe...

Recovering struvite from dairy manure has consistently posed problems for researchers. This study separated solids from anaerobically digested dairy manure using a filtration system. Filtrate was rich in free magnesium (160 to 423 mg/L), ammonium (320 to 1800 mg N/L) and orthophosphate (93 to 332 mg P/L). High concentrations of free calcium (128 to 361 mg/L) and alkalinity (3309 to 6567 mg/L as...

The composition of leachates is very variable and rich in toxic compounds, which requires treatment before discharge into the natural environment order to avoid their impact on and/or human health comply with requirements regulatory standards environment. Among parameters indicating pollution by leachates, we have COD, BOD5, conductivity, pH, presence ammonium ions, nitrite, nitrate, chloride, ...

At the zonal scale (e.g. a city or town), random daytime (RDT) sampling succeeded in demonstrating both the need for corrective action and the benefits of optimised orthophosphate dosing for plumbosolvency control, despite initial concerns about sampling reproducibility. Stagnation sampling techniques were found to be less successful. Optimised treatment measures to minimise lead in drinking wa...

When primary domestic sewage sludge was combined with settled sewage or secondary-treatment plant effluent, synergism resulted. The activity (measured by oxygen uptake, and the removal of Kjeldahl nitrogen and orthophosphate from solution) which resulted from incubating sludge together with settled sewage exceeded the sum of the activities when these components were incubated separately. A simi...

The principal low molecular weight phosphatic metabolites of the intact cornea were identified and quantitated nondestructively by phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (P-31 NMR) spectroscopy. As part of this analytical procedure, the intracorneal pH was approximated from the resonance shift position of inorganic orthophosphate. In addition the metabolic and pH stability of incubated cornea...

AIMS To correlate microbial community composition and water quality changes within wetland cells containing varying plant densities and composition in a free water surface (FWS) constructed wetland. METHODS AND RESULTS Water chemistry was monitored weekly for nitrate, orthophosphate, and suspended solids, at various sites throughout the wetland for 6 months. Treatment ponds with 50% plant cov...
