Phosphorus recovery from domestic sewage sludge in the presence of waste grape pruning biochar by M. Piri, E. Sepehr

“…The results showed that the phosphorus - cumulative - release of composites in water good fitted the parabolic kinetic model (R2=0.97-0.99), whereas it followed the simple Elovich model (R2=0.86-0.92) in 0.5 mole per liter hydrochloric acid and first-order kinetics model (R2=0.76-0.92) in 20 gram per liter critic acid.CONCLUSION: The results indicated that the presence of grape-biochar for recovery of phosphorus from sludge as struvite had a good potential for increasing the release of nutrients for the formation of struvite, and these precipitates had a high potential to be used as a slow-release phosphorus-fertilizer.…”
