Agricultural subsurface drainage has been recognized as an important pathway for phosphorus transport from soils to surface waters. Reactive permeable filters are a promising technology to remove phosphate from subsurface drainage. Three natural minerals (limestone, zeolite, and calcite) and five industrial by-products (steel slag, iron filings, and three recycled steel by-products) were evaluated for phosphate removal from subsurface drainage using batch adsorption experiments. Phosphate adsorption onto these materials was characterized by Langmuir isotherm and second-order kinetic models. The adsorption capacities increased by factors of 1.2-2.5 when temperature was increased from 5 degrees C to 30 degrees C. Industrial by-products exhibited phosphate adsorption capacities that were one order of magnitude higher than natural minerals. Medium-sized steel chips exhibited high phosphate adsorption capacities (1.64-3.38 mg/g) across different temperatures, pH values, organic matter concentrations, and real drainage water matrixes. The strong chemical bonds between phosphate and steel by-products prevented the release of adsorbed phosphate back to the solution. The steel by-product filter can be paired with a woodchip bioreactor for nitrate and phosphate removal. It is suggested that the phosphate filter be connected to a woodchip bioreactor after the startup phase to minimize the impact of dissolved organic matter on phosphate adsorption. The results of this study suggest that the low-cost steel by-products examined could be used as effective adsorption media for phosphate removal from subsurface drainage.
