This study used urban storm sewer sludge to prepare phosphorus adsorbents via pyrolysis. Comparing adsorbents prepared under different conditions, the optimal material was produced at 800 \u00b0C in a nitrogen atmosphere and was named 800N. Analyses were conducted using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer\u2013Emmett\u2013Teller surface area analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that 800N is rich in carbon, calcium, and iron. The adsorbent has a pore volume of 0.013 cm3\/g and a specific surface area of 3.566 m2\/g. Adsorption performance was most effective at a pH of 8, achieving an adsorption capacity (qe) of 19.32 mg\/g and a removal rate of 87.75%. Kinetic and thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption of phosphorus by the adsorbent conforms to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. Based on the characterization results, it can be reasonably inferred that the primary mechanisms involved in phosphorus adsorption by the adsorbent are inner-sphere complexation, ligand exchange, and chemical precipitation. This study offers a novel solution for mitigating phosphorus pollution and promoting the resource utilization of urban storm sewer sludge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules31142534","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]],"date-time":"2026-07-21T10:35:52Z","timestamp":1784630152000},"page":"2534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Efficient Phosphorus Adsorbent Prepared from Calcium\/Iron-Rich Storm Sewer Sludge: Performance and Mechanism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Yan","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"},{"name":"Engineering Technology Research Center for Pollution Control and Ecological Restoration of Impaired Rivers and Lakes, Xihua University, Chengdu 610065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinhui","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luyue","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Xihua University, Chengdu 610039, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9100-567X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qingguo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Architecture and Environment, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107464","DOI":"10.1016\/j.resconrec.2024.107464","article-title":"Recent advances in the removal and recovery of phosphorus from aqueous solution by metal-based adsorbents: A review","volume":"204","author":"Jin","year":"2024","journal-title":"Resour.
