Currently available wastewater phosphorus (P) treatment technologies target removal of reactive forms of P. Selective adsorption of more recalcitrant soluble non-reactive phosphorus (sNRP) can improve P removal and recovery. A phosphate-selective phosphate-binding protein (PBP), PstS, was immobilized onto NHS-activated beads to assess the ability of this novel bioadsorbent to remove (adsorb) and subsequently recover (desorb) a range of sNRP compounds. Four sNRP compounds representative of wastewater sNRP were selected for use in this study: phytic acid (PA), sodium triphosphate (TrP), beta-glycerol phosphate (BGP), and sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP). Using PBP, adsorption of all sNRP compounds was thermodynamically favorable. The PBP had nearly equivalent binding affinity for PA compared to PBP's typical target, orthophosphate, although it had less affinity for the other sNRP compounds. Adsorption followed pseudo-second order reaction kinetics, with 95% of maximum adsorption occurring within 4 min. This was substantially faster sNRP adsorption compared to other adsorbents in the literature. Adsorption was modeled using the Langmuir isotherm, reflecting that one phosphate molecule attached to one PBP binding site. Notably, this selective 1:1 attachment resulted in higher total P removal for sNRP molecules with high P content. The binding site lost activity with increasing pH, and as such, highest desorption was achieved at pH 12, making the system amenable to sNRP removal as well as controlled recovery.
