Abstract

Development of advance water treatment technology is being the prime focus of the environmentalists and researchers. As it directly associated with the human health and cleaner ecosystem, it demands for specific methodology for the specific pollutants. Nitrate and phosphate are two most concerned contamination in the water and their removal methodology is primarily correlated with water bodies eutrophication. Adsorption has been considered as most effective principle to remove nitrate and phosphate from wastewater. This technique has proven its applicability in nitrate and phosphate removal in low cost with high efficiency. However, still there are practical challenges in applying adsorption in wastewater treatment. These challenges can only be mitigated by detailing the adsorption principle and material currently used in wastewater treatment for nitrate and phosphate removal. This review primarily illustrates the wastewater treatment in context to nitrate and phosphate removal. Surface material used in the adsorbent and the kinetics involved are the two major components that are described in this review. These parameters are required to be processed further to improve the adsorption technology applied in the nitrate and phosphate removal from wastewater.
