nitrate to very low levels to avoid nutrient enrichment of receiving water bodies. Currently nitrate and_x000D_
phosphate are primarily removed from wastewater through biological and chemical processes which are_x000D_
expensive and have a high carbon and energy footprint. This research will examine an adsorption process using_x000D_
a novel biomedia for removal of nitrates, phosphates, as well as arsenic from a synthetic wastewater source._x000D_
This research will clarify the areas of application and associated design needs with this novel biomedia. Thus,_x000D_
if the biomedia is proven to effectively remove these nutrients from wastewater, it will offer an alternative_x000D_
