Simultaneous recovery of phosphorus and nitrogen from inorganic fertilizer wastewater
The conventional method for removal of N and P from industrial wastewater by biological treatment requires a long hydraulic- retention- time (HRT) and strict conditions for protecting the microorganisms. This study focuses on N and P recovery by struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H2O) precipitation method which is...

The influence of pH (7-9), Mg/P molar ratio (1-1.6), and N/P molar ratio (1.2-2) in struvite recovery efficiency were evaluated and the obtained struvite samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized in Box-Behnken experimental design and data analysis to obtain a mathematic for P and N recovery.
