Abstract
The soil factors affecting phosphorus sorption are discussed together with phosphate sorption isotherms and sorption mechanisms. Both soil column experiments and field studies have shown that suited soils have a high sorption capacity for phosphorus from wastewater. It is very important that a simple and accurate sorption index for phosphorus in soil and the treatment systems1 operation time be found.
