Enhanced Phosphorus Removal in a Waste Stabilization Pond System With Blast Furnace Slag Filters

In this work a tertiary horizontal-flow blast furnace slag (BFS) filter was tested for phosphorus removal under laboratory and field conditions. Laboratory experiments were conducted in a bench-scale BFS filter for phosphorus adsorption capacity at equilibrium conditions using P-spiked water. On-sit...
