Les approches hydrométallurgiques dévouées à l'extraction et la séparation des éléments de terres rares (TRs) ont devenus des thématiques de recherche d'actualité à l'échelle internationale en raison des propriétés physico-chimiques cruciales des TRs dans la technologie de pointe. Par conséquent, la dernière décennie a connu une forte préoccupation focalisée sur le développement des méthodes durables pour valoriser les TRs à partir des ressources de faible concentration, afin de remédier au problème de la dynamique croissante du marché de TRs issue du déséquilibre entre l'approvisionnement et

Abstract:

The primary source of phosphorus, phosphate rock, is a non-renewable resource which is expected to get exhausted in the next 50 – 100 years. Sewage sludge in Sweden constitutes 25% of the annual phosphorus in the country, making it a potentially significant source for phosphorus recovery. The aim of this project was to identify the potential for phosphorus recovery from incineration of dewatered and digested sewage sludge in Fortum Värme’s power plants in Stockholm. The study was limited to two boilers located at Bristaverket, Stockholm - boiler B1, a bio-fired fluidized bed boiler and boiler

The management of waste is by all means a great challenge to any society. In Sweden, the past decades has seen legislation progressing in congruence with concerns over environmental stress from inefficient waste management. The legislative changes aim primarily to promote waste reduction and better waste utilization. Sludge is a waste-type from different industrial processes and is unfortunately of limited reuse and recycling-value, but sludge combustion for energy recovery appears promising. Also, the oftentimes high phosphorus content in sludge strengthens the potential of extracting phospho

Abstract:

One of the most sustainable pathways of sewage sludge treatment in recent years has been thermal conversion. The benefits of thermal treatment of sewage sludge are the recovery of energy or valuable chemical products, the destruction of harmful organic compounds, the separation of heavy metals from the P-rich coarse ash fraction, and the decreased and sanitized ash volume. The ashes created by these thermal conversion processes of sewage sludge are often rich in P that is mostly present in minerals with low plant-availability such as apatite. Due to the enrichment of P in the created ashes, a

Abstract:

In designated nutrient-sensitive areas, phosphorus must be removed from sewage before it is discharged to the receiving water body. Phosphorus-rich sludge is generated, which is usually digested anaerobically prior to disposal. This research investigated the effect of phosphorus enrichment on metal and phosphorus fractionation in anaerobically digested sludge. The use of two complementary sequential chemical extraction procedures to measure phosphorus and metal fractionation, was a key focus of the research.

<p>Waste Stabilisation Ponds (WSPs) are characterised by low phosphorus (P) removal capacity. Heterotrophic bacteria are principal microbial agents in WSPs in addition to algae.

In activated sludge treatment plants (AS), microbial P removal has been improved and is termed as enhanced biological phosphorus removal. There was a need to establish whether it was possible to enhance P removal in WSPs.

Abstract:

Sewage sludge is the product from wastewater treatment that mostly is considered as a waste material. However, it contains several nutrients, especially phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen which are excellent fertilizers. The downside is the harmful content it also carries with pathogens, heavy metals and a variety of organic pollutants that in many cases have unknown effects on the ecosystem. A possible solution to this problem could be to pyrolyse the sewage sludge and by that decrease the levels of heavy metals and also render both pathogens and organic pollutants harmless.

Abstract:

Although enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) and complete biological nutrient removal (BNR) systems can be operated successfully by experienced operators, the accuracy of design and strength of the scientific background need to be reinforced to enable accurate modeling and economically optimal design. One way to accomplish this would be through a better understanding of the biochemical mechanisms and microbial population dynamics that determine the reliability and efficiency of EBPR, and the utilization of this information to improve the design and operation of BNR plants. Such know

Abstract:

The efficient use of resources and sustainable recovery of various materials are important to minimize the anthropogenic impact on the climate and environment. One such resource is the phosphorus present in manure and sewage sludge. Various technologies are currently being developed to recover the phosphorus for the use of fertilizers in agricultural applications. Thermochemical conversion presents an opportunity to recover energy from these materials. At the same time, elements can be recovered in ash fractions, potentially harmful organic substances can be destroyed and heavy metals fraction

Abstract:

A process combination of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX), followed by struvite crystallization, was examined for simultaneous removal of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from dewatered sludge liquor or centrate. Phosphorus recovery as struvite can recover more than 90% P from centrate; however, the effluent after struvite crystallization still contains high concentrations of ammonium nitrogen (NH₄-N). ANAMMOX is a cost effective alternative process for NH₄-N removal and this process can remove 85% - 90% of NH₄-N from centrate, but leaves high concentration of phosphorus phosphate (PO

Abstract:

A. Background, Principle Objectives and Scope Until the mid-1990's model-based studies on wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) focussed on the development of models describing a single unit operation within the WWTP i.e. an activated sludge system, an anaerobic digester or some other WWTP unit operation. The focus of these model-based studies changed in the late 1990's due to limitations in linking different models in applications for multi unit operation or full scale plant-wide designs or process evaluations. The boundaries related to the focus of these model-based studies within the WWTP, wa
