Effect of Small Organic Acid Anions on the Adsorption of Phosphate Anions onto Synthetic Goethite from Aqueous Solution

Batch experiments were conducted to study the effect of small organic acids (citric, oxalic and acetic) on the removal of phosphate anions from aqueous systems using synthesized goethite as the adsorbent. The results showed that phosphate anion adsorption was most significantly inhibited by citric a...
