Description:
A second order kinetic model was developed to predict the rate and extent of NH"4^+ removal as struvite from anaerobic digester effluents. Alternative to this, NH"4^+ can be recovered from struvite and the remaining Mg^2^+ and PO"4^3^- can be recycled back to the wastewater to fix more NH"4^+. The NH"4^+ solution was retained and the remaining Mg^2^+ and PO"4^3^- were returned back to be mixed with wastewater. In a five-step process, NH"4^+ recovery was initially 92% and progressively decreased to 77% in the fifth stage, due to loss of Mg^2^+ and PO"4^3^- at each step in the supernatant. Finally, economic analysis of recycling nutrients was performed and compared to the one step process. The cost of NH"4^+ recovery was calculated as $0.36/kgNH"4-N which is lower than $7.7/kgNH"4-N the cost of one step process without considering the market value of struvite obtained in one step process.
