Determination of ortho- and total phosphate phosphorus in water
The abundance of phosphorus compounds in wastewater is problematic. Elemental phosphorus is highly reactive and thus binds easily to oxygen, forming phosphates (orthophosphates o-PO4, polyphosphates, and organic phosphates).
Phosphates in water sources can come from...
Acidic Wastewater Treatment with Magmex
Many industrial manufacturing processes will result in the production of acidic waste streams. Where these undergo on site treatment, they are likely to require neutralisation before discharge, in order to comply with a discharge...
