Phosphorus Recovery from Excess Sludge with Subcritical Water Process and Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Process

Biologically induced phosphorus precipitation in aerobic granular sludge process.

Aerobic granular sludge is a promising process for nutrient removal in wastewater treatment. In this work, for the first time, biologically induced precipitation of phosphorus as hydroxyl-apatite (Ca(5)(PO(4))(3)(OH)) in the core of granules is demonstrated by direct spectral and optical analysis: Raman spectroscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) coupled with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM),...

copper and nickel recovery from electroplating sludge by the process of acid-leaching and electro-depositing

in this work, we developed a method which combined the processes of acid-leaching, ammonium jarosite precipitating and electro-depositing to recover copper and nickel from electroplating sludge. residual sludge from an electroplating plant located in qingdao was used for acid-leaching, and more than 95% of copper, nickel, zinc, chromium and iron were extracted from the sludge. after acid-leachi...

Energy and phosphorus recovery from black water.

Source-separated black water (BW) (toilet water) containing 38% of the organic material and 68% of the phosphorus in the total household waste (water) stream including kitchen waste, is a potential source for energy and phosphorus recovery. The energy recovered, in the form of electricity and heat, is more than sufficient for anaerobic treatment, nitrogen removal and phosphorus recovery. The ph...

Co-conditioning of Digested Excess Activated Sludge with Alum 1 Sludge: Benefit of Phosphorus Reduction in Reject Water

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal from Saline Wastewater Using Up-flow Sludge Blanket Filtration Process

There is recent trend of providing additional treatment of wastewater beyond tertiary level. The purpose is to refine water to a quality that is safe for reuse for unrestricted irrigation and other non potable uses. For this purpose Kuwait has built and operated an advanced wastewater treatment plant with present capacity of 500,000 m/d. This plant providing treatment beyond tertiary utilizes t...
