Effects of pH and Dissolved Silicate on Phosphate Mineral-Water Partitioning with Goethite

The datasets were obtained from the individual adsorption of phosphate and silicate on goethite. The experimental data were used to optimize CD MUSIC model parameters. The obtained model parameters were then further used to understand the competitive effect of dissolved silicate on the adsorption of phosphate under various ionic strength conditions and as well as to extract the Langmuir adsorption constants. The datasets also include the experimental and model-predicted desorptions of phosphate (previously adsorbed to goethite) as a function of pH.
