Figure 2

Anion competition effects on perchlorate removal by MR. (a) Nitrate concentration effect; initial mg/L, pH . (b) Phosphate concentration effect; initial mg/L, pH . (c) Effects of nitrate and phosphate concentrations (equimolar) on the decrease of perchlorate removal efficiency; initial mg/L (0.3 mM), pH . Phosphate exhibited a greater competitive effect on perchlorate adsorption than nitrate.
