  • Abstract

    Background/Objectives: Total phosphorus (T-P) in effluents from sewage treatment plants (STP) causes the eutrophication of natural water. In nature, metal iron (Fe) can be oxidized to Fe2+ or Fe3+ oxidation states as well as combine with PO43- to produce the compound FePO4.

    Method/Statistical analysis: The process parameters for T-P removal efficiency was investigated using iron scrap filters on STP effluents.

    Finding: The results revealed  the removal efficiencies of T-P and PO43- were decreased as the filtration velocity was increased.  At the condition of   filtration velocity of 300m/d, T-P concentration and color intensity were suited to South Korea’s water quality regulation standard of  0.2 mg/L.

    Improvement/Applications: This filtration system can be used to small capacity waste water treatment plant, operation concerns and cost-benefits.
