Sorbtive media is an oxide-based, high surface area reactive engineered media that absorbs and retains large amounts of dissolved [[phosphorus]]. It does not desorb (leach) pollutants and has a low total phosphorus effluent concentration (< 0.1 mg/L). Sorbtive Media controls phosphorus by two mechanisms:
