Equilibrium and kinetic studies of phosphate removal from solution onto a hydrothermally modified oyster shell material.

Phosphate removal to a hydrothermally modified fumed silica and pulverized oyster shell material for use in wastewater treatments were made. Sorption data modeling (pH's 3-11, P concentrations of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, & 25 mg/L, and at an ambient temperature of 23°C) indicate that an optimal re...
