Appropriate technology for recycling of phosphorus from surface water and wastewater
Holba, Marek ; Maršálek, Blahoslav ; Maršálková, Eliška ; Plotěný, Miroslav
There were identified the sources of phosphorus, which should be used to maximize the recycling procedures. To achieve these improvements new recycling technologies were introduced. Currently, there are quite a wide range of technology solutions, where every solution has its pros and cons. And no technology shows itself as clearly the best solution. However in the modern world are technologies focused on recycling procedures of phosphorus in the form of struvite and processing of sewage sludge. While for developing countries appears to be the most appropriate technology based on the separation of urine and manure from livestock.
