Phosphate removal from an aquatic environment was investigated using La(III)-, Ce(III)- and Fe(III)-loaded orange waste. The adsorption isotherm, the kinetics of adsorption and the effect of pH on the removal of phosphate have been examined. The % removal of phosphate using La(III)- and Ce(III)-loaded orange waste gel increases with increasing pH within the range of 5-7 but decreases when the pH is increased beyond this range. The equilibrium sorption was observed to be in accordance with Langmuir type adsorption and the maximum adsorption capacity was evaluated as 13.94 mg P/g of dry gel for all the three types of gels. Kinetic studies revealed that 15 h is enough to reach equilibrium in batch experiments. Fixed bed sorption experiments confirmed the continuous phosphate adsorption and elution capability of such simply modified gels. Due to their low cost, availability and significantly high adsorption capability, metal-loaded SOW gels can be effectively employed for the removal of phosphate from water. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
