Abstract: Our research is recently focused on the phosphorus removal from wastewater treatment plant outlets. We chose two municipal wastewater treatment plants (with and without phosphorus removal) and tested zerovalent and hexavalent nanoiron for phosphorus removal. Ferrates showed promising results even for smaller dosages, whilst NZVI showed not satisfactorily results for full-scale application. Next work will include phosphorus fractionation and fate of different phosphorus fractions at the tertiary treatment. Increasing interest on xenobiotics, hormons, endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and PPCPs and their removal from the plant outlets will extend our testing in the future.
