Phosphate pre-concentration from municipal wastewater by selectrodialysis: Effect of competing components KU Leuven
© 2014 Elsevier B.V. The effect of competing ions in wastewater on the phosphate pre-concentrating efficiency by selectrodialysis was demonstrated in this study. Nitrate, bicarbonate and sulphate are three ions frequently present in wastewater. An inhibition of these ions to the phosphate concentrating efficiency was found to occur initially, but if the system runs for a longer time, the effect disappears. In the presence of nitrate, bicarbonate ...
