Selective recovery of phosphorus from acid leach liquor of iron ore by garlic peel adsorbent

Abstract

and NaOH. Recovery of phosphorus from the iron ore leach liquor by the garlic peel adsorbent was quite effective, and the adsorption efficiency could retain 85% of the original adsorption capability even after five cycles of adsorption and desorption. In summary, the Zr-loaded garlic peel appears a potential low-cost and effective adsorbent for phosphate recovery from the acid leach liquor of high phosphorus iron ore.
