Uptake of Phosphorus from an Acidic Kraft Pulp Industrial Effluent Using Magnetic Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Global population growth and industrialization have increased the demand for natural resources, notably phosphorus, which is essential for agricultural and industrial applications. However, the scarcity of phosphorus and its environmental ramifications require innovative solutions for its removal and reuse. This study assesses cobalt ferrite nanoparticles' efficacy in removing phosphorus from kraft pulp effluents. Comprehensive sampling was conducted at various paper pulp facilities utilizing Eucalyptus globulus and the kraft pulp process. Variables, such as pH, temperature, sorbent dose, and initial phosphorus concentration, were investigated. Experiments were performed on streams containing 5, 25, and 45 mg/L phosphorus. At 5 mg/L, the nanoparticles achieved up to 93% P removal at
