ABSTRACT
Kinetic studies on phosphorus (P as orthophosphate) sorption onto converter and furnace slag (dust and cake, waste products from a steel industry) media revealed that P sorption is a slow process. More than 90% of P was adsorbed within 20 and 80 h for the dust and cake, respectively. Dust adsorbed P more than cake (about 4 times in terms of the amount of P adsorbed). Kinetics of P sorption was satisfactorily explained by a static, physical, non-equilibrium sorption model (SPNSM). Film transfer constants decreased with the increase of initial P concentration due to the limitations of sorptivity on the surface of the slags. The pH of the P solutions in the adsorbents gradually decreased after a rapid increase at the initial stage of P sorption.
