Struvite production from dairy processing wastewater: Optimizing reaction conditions and effects of foreign ions through multi-response experimental models

Description

Phosphorus purification by struvite precipitation from dairy wastewater is affected by existing competitive ions. The latter exhibit inhibitory properties against struvite precipitation due to the lower solubility properties of their phosphate salts. The current experimental work investigated the main conditions of pH and optimum ratio of dosage that enhances both phosphorus recovery and struvite precipitation from dairy wastewater. The products were evaluated and compared for quality as fertilizers where struvite demonstrated better nutrient availability.
