Abstract:
AbstractThe removal of phosphorus from wastewaters is becoming very common, to meet water quality targets, and avoid environmental problems related to eutrophication. At the same time, agricultural application of P-rich sewage biosolids is diminishing for reasons of logistics and of public pressure. As a result P from wastewaters is ultimately disposed of in landfills. Over the long term, phosphate ore reserves will become depleted. Recycling of P from wastewaters may thus be a realistic prospect if scientific and technical issues can be resolved. At the centre of the scientific problems lie c

Upon thermal treatment, ACP clusters about 50 nm create a nanostructured HA or TCP. The highlights of this research: The precipitate treatment with ethanol provided a pure α-TCP that was found to be stable up to 1000 °C.
