A result of the project Possibilities of using sewage sludge as a secondary source of phosphorus in the Czech Republic is a comprehensive study mapping not only the phosphorus content but also the degree of contamination of sewage sludge from various types of wastewater treatment plants in the Czech Republic. This study represents a basis for planning site-specific strategies for the use of phosphorus from sewage sludge in the Czech Republic. Six basic steps led to the elaboration of the study: analysis of the WWTP network in the Czech Republic (1), repeated sampling, analysis of sludge and evaluation of sludge properties of sludges collected from selected facilities representing typical representatives of the nature of source areas and wastewater treatment and sludge treatment technologies (2), legislative analysis of the future of sewage sludge management (3), tests of thermal treatment of sludge and their evaluation (4), search of available technological solutions for sludge treatment (5) and proposal of the concept of sludge treatment in the Czech Republic (6).

Possibilities of the use of the fishpond sediment in the improvement of arable land is discussed. Among others, this approach has a high potential to contribute to the recycling of phosphorus in the agriculture landscapes. For this purpose, we propose set of particular techniques which were tested in the field study.

Phosphorus recycling - need or urgency
Holba, Marek ; Došek, M. ; Škvoran, O. ; Matysíková, J. ; Plotěný, K. ; Maršálek, Blahoslav
Phosphate policy is tightly connected with effective solutions in agriculture, but also with its removal from water environment where excessive concentration of phosphorus is not welcomed since it causes water bloom and worsening og surface water quality. Phosphate ores will be depleted soon and therefore recacling technologies should be introduced into practice in near future. Struvite - slow-release fertilizer seems to be good commodity for farmers. Struvite is usually responsible for clogged pipes in the wastewater treatment area. Therefore, several technologies of its recycling is recently being developed, esp. from reject water stream. Struvite crystallization, its production control and scale-up of technology from lab-scale through pilot-sclae to full-scale is technological challenge in the near future.
