The process of recovering phosphorus from wastewater for utilization in the form of struvite fertilizer
Detail
The fluidized bed reactor system for crystallizing struvite from anaerobically digested biomass liquid is a process for recovering phosphorus from wastewater from the cassava production industry, utilized in the form of struvite, a slow-release fertilizer. This process reduces production costs and environmental impact, serving as a wastewater treatment method that recovers plant nutrients, including phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), before the treated water is discharged into natural water bodies. This phosphorus recovery process is distinct from conventional methods, reducing chemical costs and repurposing production waste for beneficial use.
