Why Recover Phosphorus for Recycling, and How?
Abstract
The removal of phosphorus from municipal waste waters prior to their discharge into the receiving waters is practised widely and a number of effective and reliable techniques can be employed. In almost all of these, the phosphorus is removed from the aqueous phase into the sludge phase (either as a precipitated metal salt or as a component of the sludge biomass) along with other solids. There are, however, a growing number of techniques, some at a laboratory stage, a few in full scale operation where the phosphorus is removed in the form of a simple inorganic phosphate salt which may have utility for recycling in industrial applications. The potential for recovery and recycling of phosphorus is reviewed from both a historical and a modern industrial perspective.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
