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

Dynamic and equilibrium precipitation of struvite from the concentrated cellulosic ethanol stillage
Water Science and Technology, 2021 The phosphate rock mineral is the main source of P-fertilizer production. It is estimated to become depleted in next century. Thus, the recovery of phosphorus from waste streams has attracted great interest.

Struvite as a Sustainable Fertilizer in Mediterranean Soils
Agronomy, 2023 Recycled sources of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), such as struvite extracted from wastewater, have the potential to substitute conventional manufactured fertilizers and mitigate environmental problems such as water eutrophication or the depletion of ...

Optimizing Struvite Crystallization at High Stirring Rates
Crystals, 2023 Phosphorus and ammonium can both be recovered in the presence of magnesium through struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) crystallization. The present work aimed to optimize struvite crystallization at turbulent solution flow.

Phosphate removal in agro-industry: pilot- and full-scale operational considerations of struvite crystallization [PDF]
, 2009 Pilot-scale struvite crystallisation tests using anaerobic effluent from potato processing industries were performed at three different plants. Two plants (P1 & P2) showed high phosphate removal efficiencies, 89 + 3% and 75 + 8%, resulting in final ...

Peristomal struvite incrustations [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2014 A 42-year-old woman who had a urostomy formed at the age of 6 years for a neurogenic bladder due to a myelomeningocele presented to our department with painful white deposits of hard consistency on peristomal skin, suggestive of struvite incrustations after some weeks of evolution (figure 1). Figure 1 White …

Precipitation Diagrams of Struvite and Dissolution Kinetics of Different Struvite Morphologies [PDF]
Croatica Chemica Acta, 2002 Spontaneous precipitation in the systems MgCl2-H3P04-NH40H-NaCl (0.15 mol dm-3)-H20, MgS04-NH4H2P04-H20 and MgS04-NH4H2P04-NaCl (0.15 mol dm-3)-H20 was studied at 25 and 37 °C and initial pH = 4. Precipitates aged for 24 hours and 30 days were characterized by means of Chemical analyses, X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry ...
