Blast furnace slag (BF slag) was converted using alkali fusion method into a novel adsorbent to remove phosphate from aqueous solutions. The slag was mixed with NaOH powder (NaOH / Slag = 1.6) and then heated at 600 °C for 6 h to prepare the fused precursor. The precursor was stirred in distilled wa...
