High amounts of phosphate (PO43–) discharged in receiving water can lead to eutrophication, which endangers life below water and human health. This study elucidates the removal of PO43– from synthetic solution by iron-coated waste mussel shell (ICWMS). The PO4 3– adsorption by ICWMS was determined a...
