Processing of the liquid fraction

Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry

Objective

Processes that use sacrificial anodes and stable anodes to promote the chemical precipitation of compounds of interest.

Inlets

Liquid streams rich in N-ammoniacal and/or P-orthophosphoric

Efficiency

.

Weaknesses

Co-precipitation of CaCO3 when looking for the direct recovery of P by pH modification;
The energy requirement is inversely proportional to the electrical conductivity of the water;

Products

Mg sacrificial anodes induce struvite precipitation. In ammonia adsorption processes, if sulfuric acid is used, ammonium sulfate salts will be produced

Other outlets
