These studies suggest Phoslock effectively removes phosphates from spiked distilled water.
20 papers analyzed
Phoslock®, a lanthanum-modified bentonite, is widely studied for its ability to remove phosphate (PO4) from various water sources, including synthetic and real wastewaters. This analysis aims to determine whether Phoslock® can desorb phosphate in spiked distilled water.
Phosphate Adsorption Mechanism:
Effectiveness in Phosphate Removal:
Influence of pH:
Impact of Ionic Strength:
Phoslock® is highly effective in adsorbing phosphate from spiked distilled water, primarily through a chemisorption process. Its efficiency is stable across a moderate pH range but decreases at higher pH levels. The ionic strength of the solution does not significantly impact its phosphate removal capacity.
