“…Authors concluded that knowledge and understanding of the IMTA system is very important factor in order to achieve maximum optimization of methods used in culture as well as techniques to be considered with the aim of reducing aquaculture impacts on the environment. Three different iron oxide-based sorption media samples for removal of phosphorus (P) from fish hatchery effluents studied by Sibrell and Kehler (2016) using the process of fixed bed. Media samples were derived from residuals produced by the treatment of acid mine drainage were compared to granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), which is a commercially available sorption medium.…”

This review covers research papers and scientific literature published in the year 2016 on the effects of anthropogenic pollutants on freshwater organisms. In the first, the review begins with two broad sections thate are mainly focused on research reviews and broad field studies and surveys. This is followed by reviews of research categorized in sections to reflect the pollutant class. These sections include wastewater, stormwater and non-point source pollution, nutrients, sediment cap materials and suspended clays, botanical extracts, surfactants, metals, persistent organic pollutants, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ionic liquids, and nanomaterials. The final section of the review highlights the research published on describing innovations in the field of freshwater pollution research.

“…For this reason, the P removal structure was developed. Phosphorus removal structures are landscape-scale dissolved P filters containing PSMs that have shown to be effective at trapping dissolved P in non-point source drainage and wastewater [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Briefly, a P removal structure distributes P-rich water over a bed of PSMs and forces it to flow through the PSMs at a rate high enough to treat all water produced from large flow events, while also allowing sufficient contact time for P removal reactions.…”

“…One solution is to design structures that flow from the bottom-upward [30], thereby allowing for any given depth of PSM, where the elevation of water inflow equals the elevation of treated outflow water (i.e., hydraulic head equals depth of media). Although several studies have utilized a bottom-up flow regime for slag and other PSMs [22,39,[44][45][46][47], none were utilized on buried tile drains.…”

Reducing dissolved phosphorus (P) losses from legacy P soils to surface waters is necessary for preventing algal blooms. Phosphorus removal structures containing steel slag have shown success in treating surface runoff for dissolved P, but little is known about treating subsurface (tile) drainage. A ditch-style and subsurface P removal structure were constructed using steel slag in a bottom-up flow design for treating tile drainage. Nearly 97% of P was delivered during precipitation-induced flow events (as opposed to baseflow) with inflow P concentrations increasing with flow rate. Structures handled flow rates approximately 12 L s−1, and the subsurface and ditch structures removed 19.2 (55%) and 0.9 kg (37%) of the cumulative dissolved P load, respectively. Both structures underperformed relative to laboratory flow-through experiments and exhibited signs of flow inhibition with time. Dissolved P removal decreased dramatically when treated water pH decreased <8.5. Although slag has proven successful for treating surface runoff, we hypothesize that underperformance in this case was due to tile drainage bicarbonate consumption of slag calcium through the precipitation of calcium carbonate, thereby filling pore space, decreasing flow and pH, and preventing calcium phosphate precipitation. We do not recommend non-treated steel slag for removing dissolved P from tile drainage unless slag is replaced every 4–6 months.

“…An example of existing regeneration treatments is reported by Sibrell and Kehler [18], in which they tested a regeneration treatment on granular ferric hydroxide media samples, after an extensive P removal trial to remediate trout wastewater. The authors used 0.5 M NaOH solution in a 24-h recirculation.…”

The reduction of dissolved phosphorus (P) transport to water systems is of critical importance for water quality. Phosphorus sorption materials (PSMs) are media with high affinity for dissolved P, and therefore serve as the core components of P removal structures. These structures can intercept dissolved P in surface and subsurface flows, before discharge into water bodies. While the P removal ability of PSMs has been extensively studied, lesser is known about the capacity to regenerate and recover P from P-saturated PSMs. This article evaluates a methodology to recover the P removal ability of aluminum- and iron-rich P-saturated PSMs. A series of flow-through experiments were conducted, alternating between P sorption (0.5 and 50 mg L − 1 P) and desorption with potassium hydroxide (KOH; 5 or 20 pore volumes [PV]), varying residence times (0.5 min and 10 min), and number of recirculations (0, 6 and 24). Across two cycles of sorption-desorption, Alcan, Biomax and PhosRedeem showed an average P recovery of 81%, 79%, and 7%, with standard deviation of 10%, 21% and 6%, respectively. The most effective regeneration treatment was characterized by the largest KOH volume (20 PV) and no recirculation, with up to 100% reported P recovery. Although KOH at 5 PV was less effective, the use of recirculation did increase P recovery. The lifetime of Al/Fe-dominated PSMs in P removal structures can be extended through feasible regeneration techniques demonstrated in this study, for both high and low P concentration scenarios.
