- Description
- Struvite precipitation in wastewater has proved to be an effective method in treating wastewater and has helped in the recovery of ammonia nitrogen and phosphate phosphorus. Nutrient recovery from wastewater has become a new trend attracting the interests of several researchers. Extraction of the nutrients based on struvite crystals as nutrition sources from wastewater has been acknowledged as a need of the hour solution to tackle the water pollution issue. This review focuses on the featured characteristics of struvite as a chemical fertilizer for plant and the struvite formation process related to physiochemical conditions in wastewaters. In the present work, struvite precipitation in the actual swine wastewater is studied by strategically controlling aeration, pH, and mixing of anammox bacteria. The effect of organic solids in the wastewater has also been studied. Laboratory experiments were conducted by optimizing pH value. pH was found to be an important parameter in the simultaneous removals of ammonium nitrogen and orthophosphate. This work reveals that the struvite removal from wastewater can be reduced to 80% using anammox bacteria. Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
