Influx of Phosphorus (P) into freshwater ecosystems is the primary cause of eutrophication which has many undesirable effects. Therefore, P discharge limits for effluents from WWTPs is becoming increasingly common, and may be as low as 10 mu g/L as P. While precipitation, filtration, membrane processes, Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) and Physico-chemical (adsorption based) methods have been successfully used to effect P removal, only adsorption has the potential to recover the P as a usable fertilizer. This benefit will gain importance with time since P is a non-renewable resource and is mined from P-rich rocks. This article provides details of a process where a polymeric anion exchanger is impregnated with iron oxide nanoparticles to effectuate selective P removal from wastewater and its recovery as a solid-phase fertilizer. Three such hybrid materials were studied: HAIX, DOW-HFO, & DOW-HFO-Cu. Each of these materials combines the durability, robustness, and ease-of-use of a polymeric ion-exchanger resin with the high sorption affinity of Hydrated Ferric Oxide (HFO) toward phosphate. Laboratory experiments demonstrate that each of the three materials studies can selectively remove phosphate from the background of competing anions and phosphorus can be recovered as a solid-phase fertilizer upon efficient regeneration of the exchanger and addition of a calcium or magnesium salt in equimolar (Ca/P or Mg/P) ratio. Also, there is no leaching of Fe or Cu from any of these hybrid exchangers. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
