Phosphorus pollution in wastewater poses significant environmental challenges, causing eutrophication, disrupting wildlife ecosystems, and contributing to health issues; however, through a combination of laboratory-scale experiments and mathematical modelling, various phosphorus removal methods were evaluated. Nowadays, the use of low-cost materials in wastewater treatment has recently sparked a lot of interest. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of phosphorus removal from synthetic solution using calcine hard clam shell and analysis using kinetic and isotherm model from batch experiment data. The feasibility of removing phosphorus from solution by adsorption utilizing calcine hard clam shell with particle sizes ranging from 1.18mm to 2.36mm, mixed in solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) under different initial concentration 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 mg/L. From the batch experiment data, the data expect phosphorus can remove phosphorus effectively due to calcium carbonate content in adsorbent within adsorption process until equilibrium state. The analysis of data using kinetic and isotherm models to verify the theoretical and experimental data and prediction of contour to determine the removal efficiency through mass of adsorbent and certain initial concentration will be evaluated. Overall, this study contributes sustainability and eco-friendly use to benefit in future adsorption technologies in water and wastewater treatment plant.
