Reagent-free phosphorus precipitation from a denitrified swine effluent in a batch electrochemical system

There is high interest in the recovery of phosphorus (P) from wastewater through crystallization processes. However, the addition of chemical reagents (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to raise the pH may result in high treatment costs and increased concentrations of undesired metal ions (e.g., sodium). As a...

However, the addition of chemical reagents (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to raise the pH may result in high treatment costs and increased concentrations of undesired metal ions (e.g., sodium). As an alternative, in this research we considered electrochemical mediated precipitation at low current densities (0.4–1.2 A m−2) without using chemical reagents. For that purpose, a two-chamber electrochemical system was operated in batch for treating denitrified swine effluent (48 mg P L−1). By applying current at 1.2 A m−2, and targeting pH 11.5, a maximum P removal rate of 33.4 mmol P (L·d−1) was obtained while the P removal efficiency was above 90 %. New solids that formed mostly remained suspended in the catholyte. Before discharge, the catholyte effluent was recirculated to the anodic compartment to neutralize the pH, achieving a final pH of 6.4 ± 0.1. Chlorine (Cl2) production in the anodic compartment was favored by a small anode surface and a high initial pH of the catholyte. Although the production of chlorine achieved was limited (the highest concentration was 8.6 ± 0.1 mg Cl2 L−1) these findings represent a new opportunity for the recovery and onsite use of this side-product. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests confirmed that the deposition of solids inside the cathodic compartment during the experimental period was limited.

description There is high interest in the recovery of phosphorus (P) from wastewater through crystallization processes. However, the addition of chemical reagents (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to raise the pH may result in high treatment costs and increased concentrations of undesired metal ions (e.g., sodium). As an alternative, in this research we considered electrochemical mediated precipitation at low current densities (0.4–1.2 A m−2) without using chemical reagents. For that purpose, a two-chamber electrochemical system was operated in batch for treating denitrified swine effluent (48 mg P L−1). By applying current at 1.2 A m−2, and targeting pH 11.5, a maximum P removal rate of 33.4 mmol P (L·d−1) was obtained while the P removal efficiency was above 90 %. New solids that formed mostly remained suspended in the catholyte. Before discharge, the catholyte effluent was recirculated to the anodic compartment to neutralize the pH, achieving a final pH of 6.4 ± 0.1.
