Study of Struvite Precipitation in Anaerobic Digesters
نویسنده
چکیده
-In this paper struvite formation and crystal forms in anaerobic digesters under differing feed types and support media have been studied. Struvite appears when the medium contains magnesium, ammonium and phosphate ions. NH + can be supplied from protein degradation, phosphate from bacterial exudation and Mg 2+ by the supports. The precipitation of struvite has also been checked with real feeding solid wastes plus domestic sewage. Key words--anaerobic digestion, struvite, sepiolite, stevensite, bentonite

متن کاملApplication of Struvite Process for Nutrient Recovery from Anaerobic Digesters of Livestock Wastewater
Process of struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) precipitation is a promising method for phosphorus recycling. The use of cheap magnesium ore for precipitation struvite as phosphate recovery has been examined. The optimal conditions for precipitation are pH 9.0 and Mg: 4 NH : 4 PO molar ratio 1.1:30.7:1. Linear correlation of experimental data is in qualitative agreement with modelling calculation. Surf...
متن کاملModeling of ammonia speciation in anaerobic digesters.
Anaerobic digestion of high-nitrogen wastes such as animal manure can be inhibited by high concentrations of un-ionized ammonia, NH(3) (aq). Understanding the toxicity of NH(3) (aq) to anaerobic digestion requires a method for determining its concentration. Previous work on ammonia toxicity in anaerobic digesters has utilized a simple equilibrium calculation for estimating NH(3) (aq) concentrat...

U.S. production of fuel ethanol from corn grain has increased considerably over the last 10 years. Intense debate regarding the true environmental impact of the overall production process has been ongoing. The present study evaluated the utilization of thin stillage (a major byproduct of the dry-mill corn grain-to-ethanol process) in laboratory-scale thermophilic anaerobic sequencing batch reac...
