Abstract:
Existing phosphorus (P) resources are becoming increasingly scarce, so it is necessary to recover P from potential sources. This paper is based on thermal hydrolysis process (THP) at 140-180 degrees C, coupled with low-temperature pyrolysis at 300 degrees C, to study its effect on the recovery and conversion of P from sewage sludge. Most significant change was observed in apatite P, which increased from 3.43 +/- 0.48 mg/g in raw sludge to 30.17 +/- 1.17 mg/g in biochar (BTHP-180-4-300) during optimal process (THP condition: 180 degrees C, 4 h; pyrolysis condition: 300 degrees C). Reactions between phosphates and metal ions became more complete during this combined process. Unstable forms of P were converted into more stable forms, with transformations from Al-P and Fe-P toward Ca-P compounds like Ca3(PO4)2, 3 (PO 4 ) 2 , Ca3Mg3(PO4)4, 3 Mg 3 (PO 4 ) 4 , Ca2P2O7, 2 P 2 O 7 , and Ca(H2PO4)2, 2 PO 4 ) 2 , making P less degradable and more suitable as slow-release fertilizers. Additionally, P characteristics of actual THP in a sewage treatment plant were similar to those of laboratory THP.
