BACKGROUND: Struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H(2)O) precipitation is a sustainable approach that can offer simultaneous removal/recovery of nutrients from biogas plant effluents. However, most biogas plant effluents contain a higher molar concentration of nitrogen (N) than magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P). Therefore, the external addition of Mg2+ and phosphate (PO43-) salts is needed to maximize the recovery. In this study, Mg-rich waste magnesite powder and P-rich bone meal were used as sustainable additives. The Box-Behnken design was applied to determine optimum conditions of process parameters (pH, Mg:N and P:N molar ratios) to maximize ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), PO4-P and Mg(2+)recoveries. RESULTS: NH4-N, PO4-P and Mg2+ recoveries were in the ranges 78.5%-96.9%, 69.2%-96.3% and 75.1%-99.9%, respectively. The actual and predicted values showed significant consistency, indicating that the model is satisfactory. Under optimum conditions (pH = 9.0, Mg:N = 2.2, P:N = 1.8), 97.8 +/- 0.1% NH4-N, 96.6 +/- 0.31% PO4-P and 84.4 +/- 0.9% Mg2+ recovery were attained. The X-ray diffraction results confirmed the sole presence of struvite crystals. Scanning electron microscopy images showed irregular prismatic orthorhombic crystals and amorphous material depositions on precipitates of similar to 25 mu m crystal size. The product was 49% struvite with 15.2% P content. The heavy metal content was lower than regulatory limits. CONCLUSION: Even though waste material and industrial by-products have been used as additives in this process, high NH4-N and PO4-P recoveries were recorded under optimum conditions. These results are promising and illustrate a powerful example of industrial symbiosis, and the precipitate containing struvite can serve as a valuable product. (c) 2024 The Authors.
