Reply to comments on "Low-cost chitosan-calcite adsorbent development for potential phosphate removal and recovery from wastewater effluent" by Pap et al. [Water research 173 (2020) 115573]. (15th July 2020) - Pap, Sabolc
Abstract: This letter is in response to the comments of Dr Hu and Dr Zhang on " Low-cost chitosan-calcite adsorbent development for potential phosphate removal and recovery from wastewater effluent " (Pap et al., 2020). We thank Dr Hu and Dr Zhang for their interest and comments, and having reflected, we wish to provide some clarification. Highlights: Phosphate adsorption onto a chitosan-calcite rich adsorbent. Levenberg–Marquardt method for experimental data fitting. Breakthrough model analysis for phosphate adsorption behaviours.
