TREATMENT OF PHOSPHATE-CONTAINING WASTEWATER WITH FLUOROSILICATE AND PHOSPHATE RECOVERY |
摘要 |
A method for treating phosphate-containing wastewater, such as phosphogypsum pond water. The method includes the steps of: (a) adding a first cation to the wastewater to precipitate fluorosilicate from the wastewater; (b) adding a second cation to the wastewater to precipitate fluoride from the wastewater; (c) raising the pH of the wastewater to precipitate the second cation from the wastewater; (d) removing residual silica from the wastewater; and (e) precipitating phosphate from the wastewater. The precipitated fluorosilicate may be sodium fluorosilicate. The precipitated phosphate may be struvite. |

1. A method for treating phosphate-containing wastewater, the method comprising:
(a) adding a first cation to the wastewater to precipitate fluorosilicate from the wastewater; (b) adding a second cation to the wastewater to precipitate fluoride from the wastewater; (c) raising the pH of the wastewater to precipitate the second cation from the wastewater; (d) removing residual silica from the wastewater; and (e) precipitating phosphate from the wastewater wherein step (e) comprises controllably adding magnesium and/or ammonia to precipitate the phosphate as struvite or a struvite analog. |
