A comprehensive review on nitrate and phosphate removal and recovery from aqueous solutions by adsorption

Nitrogen and phosphorus removal and recovery are considered as one of the interventions to control water bodies' eutrophication by application of various methods. Adsorption is an effective method for phosphate and nitrate removal from wastewater. It is efficient, quick, easy, low-cost and envi...
