Sorption of recalcitrant phosphonates in reverse osmosis concentrates and wastewater effluents – influence of metal ions

Magnetic microparticles functionalized with tailored ZnFeZr oxyhydroxide adsorbent were used for the reversible sorption of orthophosphate and recalcitrant organo-phosphonates from wastewater. The loaded particles were harvested magnetically from water, regenerated in an alkaline solution and reused...
