Phosphorus recovery from wastewater through struvite crystallization in a fluidized bed reactor : kinetics, hydrodynamics and performance

Struvite crystallization from wastewater, using a novel fluidized bed reactor developed at UBC, offers a significant reduction (80—90%) of soluble phosphate from waste streams and generates a product that can be reused as a slow release fertilizer. To implement this green technology at a plant scale...
