This research aims to study the effectiveness of each(ferric chloride , ash and coffee
dregs) to remove phosphorus from Lattakia Port Laboratories' waste water which is
assembled in a separate sewage pit by doing laboratory experiments on water con
taining
high concentrations of phosphorus, whether real wastewater or standard solutions of
phosphorus oxide. Where it has been experimenting with ferric chloride at doses as weight
average(FeCl3/P = (0-5)) to give effectiveness ratios(70- 80)% with determining the value
of the pH-compliant and it was noted re-releasing of phosphorus time after(10-12) hours of
the start of precipitation, beside that it has been experimenting with ash as adsorpted agent
at doses as weight average(Ash/P = (2-4.5)) to give effectiveness ratio which it had
reached to 98% where it was noted re-releasing of phosphorus after 11 hours with
determining the pH values of approval for that, As coffee dregs when added in
doses)Coffee dreg/P = 3-10) as weight average, it fulfilled proportion removal(40 - 99) %
and phosphorus re-released after 24 hours. The outcome of these experiments was to
propose the most appropriate economic solution in the case of study.
