Hi everyone,
Sorry if the question is too basic, I want to know why Struvite recovery is to be done in such a way that salt solutions are made separately and then mixed? Why we cannot put, the salts all in a known volume and then just increase the Ph to create supersaturation?
and please, as I started with the phosphorus recovery project, would like to get advice to understand its thermodynamics and chemistry ? any useful material to follow, please share.
Thank you.
Dear Salman,
I have found a very good article on Phosphorus recovery and recycling. It would be very helpful for you as well:

Dear Salman Amjad thank you for posting this very interesting technical question on RG. As a synthetic inorganic chemists I'm not really a proven expert in this field of research. However, there are a few relevant and potentially useful references about this topic available in the current literature. For example, please have a look at the following articles:
Phosphorus recovery by struvite crystallization in WWTPs: influence of the sludge treatment line operation
Article Phosphorus recovery by struvite crystallization in WWTPs: In...

These two articles have not yet been posted as public full text on RG. Please check if you can access them through the OvGU library.
There is also an entire book chapter about this research topic available which can be freely downloaded as full text (after free registration):

I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your research and please stay safe and healthy. With best wishes, Frank Edelmann
