It has been found that phosphorous-containing and oxyanion compounds can be removed efficiently and economically by adsorption with cation-exchanged aluminosilicates that are ion-exchanged in a concentrated aluminosilicate composition containing the aluminosilicate, the exchange cations, and only about 15% to about 50% by weight water, based on the total weight of the aluminosilicate and water. Further, the ion-exchange process described herein has been found to be effective, in addition to those complexing or ion-exchange elements described in the Douglas '383 patent, when complexed or ion-exchanged with one or more elements of Group VIII (Fe, Co, Mi, Ru, Rh, Pd, Re, Os, Ir), Group IB (Cn, Ag, Au), and Group IIB (Zn, Cl, Hg). |
