Summary: Fe-based materials used for P adsorption are often limited by increased Fe lability, but Fe in drinking water treatment residue (DWTR) shows stable P adsorption abilities. Compared to FeCl3 and Fe-2(SO4)(3), Fe in DWTR is relatively stable under the effects of organic matter, sulfides, and anaerobic conditions. The addition of DWTR increases oxidizable Fe in sediment and stabilizes Fe distribution, enhancing Fe stability for environmental remediation.
