Effect of pH values on the mass loading of P to the solids for the 10 mg/L solution.

<p>For pH 9, 11 and 13, there appears to be 2 stages to the loading from 0–8 hours where surface sorption is the initial control with a precipitation from about 8 hours onwards. The pH 13 data show a re-solubilisation of precipitated P from 16–48 hours as equilibrium establishes.</p

Effect of initial concentrations on the removal of P from solution to the solids.

<p>Data show that increasing concentration leads to an increased mass loading to the solids, but also as slight delay in reaching equilibration (e.g., 12 h at 3 mg/L, but nearly 48 h at 25 mg/L).</p

Plots of the pseudo-first-order Lagergren model for the adsorption of P ion.

<p>The poor data to fits with linear regression lines (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0060243#pone-0060243-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>) suggests that a pseudo-first-order Lagergren model is unlikely to control P-removal.</p
