The presence of phosphorus in aquatic environment has a direct threat on public health . The adsorption process is considered to be best way for phosphate treatment . In this study , some natural materials (sand - dolomite - gravel) and industrial waste (red mud - fly ash - slag) and agriculture wastes (rice husk - rice straw) were used in phosphate removal from wastewater . In batch process , the effect of environmental condition such as pH, contact time , adsorbent dosage and initial phosphate concentration on phosphate adsorption was studied
