  1. Phosphate removal from water using dolomites and constructed wetlands • Professor Stephen Allen & Dr Gavin Walker School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, QUB • Project Champion: Dr Gerald Jones, MODERN WATER • Objectives This project addresses an important environmental concern: • the removal of phosphate from water sources. The aim of the project is to develop and enhance the potential for use of constructed wetlands to remove phosphates from water School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering QUB

  2. Novelty Choice of support medium Ability to adapt to loadings Ability to handle different pollutants Simplicity Sustainability Cost Potential Advantages Dolomite can remove phosphate in the presence of other species Plants can consume the phosphate from the dolomite No waste product No hazardous chemicals or media regeneration is required Aesthetic Lower O & M costs Sustainable Novelty and Potential Advantages School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering QUB
