Smart Adsorbents for Aquatic Environmental Remediation

“…The literature contains some lab-scale toxicity assessment of novel adsorbents. [318][319][320][321][322][323][324][325][326] These data are derived for systems which do not mimic and capture the real lifecycle components and complexity of micro-and macro environments to which the SMART adsorbents can be exposed in real-world water treatment systems. They also do not account for how ecosystems downstream influence the final treated effluent discharge.…”

Review of waste phosphorus from aquaculture: Source, removal and recovery

“…Although the use of Al 3+ -and Fe 3+ -rich materials to remove P from wastewater is effective and common, these ions are seldom used for recovery purposes because the binding of P to these ions is difficult and Al 3+ and Fe 3+ have potential toxicity to soil organisms. 34,184 Therefore, materials rich in Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ are more commonly used for P recovery because they can be recycled as fertilizers.…”
