First experimental evidence of the piezoelectric nature of struvite [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 In this paper, we present the first experimental evidence of the piezoelectric nature of struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O). Using a single diffusion gel growth technique, we have grown struvite crystals in the form of plane parallel plates.

Bacterially induced synthesis of low-Cd struvite coupled with Cd2+ biosorption under high cadmium stress [PDF]
RSC AdvancesChemical precipitation of struvite is promising for phosphorus recovery from wastewater. However, metal cations with high phosphate affinity, such as Cd2+, can reduce struvite phase purity and promote heavy-metal incorporation, limiting practical safety.

Can we predict the presence of struvite stones based on clinical factors? [PDF]
Einstein (São Paulo)Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether clinical, laboratory, and radiological data could effectively identify struvite stones without the need for crystallographic analysis. Methods: Stone fragments obtained using endourological procedures were

Morphological and micro-tomographic study on evolution of struvite in synthetic urine infected with bacteria and investigation of its pathological biomineralization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Pathological biomineralization in the urinary system leads to urolithiasis. Formation of kidney stones involves a series of events during which they undergo morphological and mineralogical changes. We investigated the mineralization of biogenic struvite (

The determination of fertiliser quality of the formed struvite from a WWTP
Water Science and Technology, 2021 Struvite from nutrient-rich wastewaters has been identified as a potential substitute for commercial mineral fertilisers, with the added benefit of reducing threats to global food security by prolonging phosphate rock reserves. A fertilisation test using
