Abstract
The mechanism of flow turbulence, sediment concentration and sediment grain size that effect the adsorption of phosphorus (P) onto sediment particles in natural waters are experimentally studied both in batch reactors and in an oscillating grid turbulence simulation device. In batch reactor experiments, both of phosphorus sorption isotherms and phosphorus sorption kinetics were studied, and the experimental data was fitted by Langmuir sorption model. The results indicated that both of the phosphorus sorption capacity and phosphorus sorption efficiency are closely related to sediment concentration and sediment grain size. In the oscillating grid turbulence simulation device, it is possible to control the turbulence intensity in two ways, by changing the frequency of the grid and controlling the oscillating stroke. According to this characteristic, the effect of flow turbulence on the adsorption of phosphorus onto sediment particles was experimentally simulated. Then a 1DV model is introduced in this paper to simulate sediment transport and phosphate sorption kinetics process.
