ABSTRACT
This study evaluates Alum sludge from drinking water treatment plants for the efficient and cost-effective removal of phosphates from aqueous solutions. Extensive characterization and batch experiments have established that optimal phosphate removal was achieved with a sludge dosage of 20 g L-1 (at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 mg L-1), a pH of 5, a temperature of 23 °C, and a stirring speed of 200 rpm. These conditions significantly reduced phosphate levels, ensuring compliance with legal discharge limits. The Langmuir isotherm, pseudo-second-order kinetic and intraparticle diffusion models best described the adsorption process, highlighting the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the phenomenon. The sludge effectively reduced phosphate concentrations to acceptable levels when applied to dairy effluents. This study underscores the potential of Alum sludge as a viable solution for phosphate management in environmental cleanup efforts.
