Evaluation of Sewage Sludge Biochar Use in Wastewater Treatment From Phosphate

Abstract

Phosphorus is important in the environment and its recovery and recycling is necessary. Sewage wastewater is one of the substances in which a high amount of phosphorus and its compounds are found. Phosphorus in water is one of the causes of environmental problems such as eutrophication. The utilization of sewage sludge is a main prob- lem in both large and smaller towns. This research investigates how much and how to use sewage sludge biochar as an adsorbent to remove phosphorus compounds from wastewater. This article highlights the sorption capacity of the filler to absorb phosphorus compounds.
