  2. Chemical phosphorus removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_phosphorus_removal

    Maintaining optimal pH is important for the removal of phosphorus from water. Phosphorus is most effectively removed at the neutral pH range, when the insoluble aluminum hydroxide is present. This hydroxide functions as a Lewis acid, [5] creating a flocculation environment similar to conventional wastewater treatment.

  3. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_biological...

    Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is a sewage treatment configuration applied to activated sludge systems for the removal of phosphate. [ 1 ] The common element in EBPR implementations is the presence of an anaerobic tank ( nitrate and oxygen are absent) prior to the aeration tank.

  4. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphosphate-accumulating...

    The most studied example of this phenomenon is in polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria (PAB) found in a type of wastewater processing known as enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), however phosphate hyperaccumulation has been found to occur in other conditions such as soil and marine environments, as well as in non-bacterial organisms ...

    Desiccation and purification of air; dehydration and desulfurization of natural gas and liquid petroleum gas; oxygen and hydrogen production by pressure swing adsorption process 10X: F-9, Ca-X: 8: 0.50–0.60: 23–24: 0.3–0.6: High-efficient sorption, used in desiccation, decarburization, desulfurization of gas and liquids and separation of ...

  6. Reuse of human excreta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuse_of_human_excreta

    In the case of phosphorus in particular, reuse of excreta is one known method to recover phosphorus to mitigate the looming shortage (also known as "peak phosphorus") of economical mined phosphorus. Mined phosphorus is a limited resource that is being used up for fertilizer production at an ever-increasing rate, which is threatening worldwide ...

  7. Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidatus_Accumulibacter...

    Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (CAP) is an unclassified type of Betaproteobacteria that is a common bacterial community member of sewage treatment and wastewater treatment plants performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) [1] and is a polyphosphate-accumulating organism.

  8. Sewage sludge treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_sludge_treatment

    One method for treating sludge dewatering streams is by using a process that is also used for phosphorus recovery. Another benefit for sewage treatment plant operators of treating sludge dewatering streams for phosphorus recovery is that it reduces the formation of obstructive struvite scale in pipes, pumps and valves. Such obstructions can be ...

  9. Metal-phosphine complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-phosphine_complex

    In early work, phosphine ligands were thought to utilize 3d orbitals to form M-P pi-bonding, but it is now accepted that d-orbitals on phosphorus are not involved in bonding. [9] The energy of the σ* orbitals is lower for phosphines with electronegative substituents , and for this reason phosphorus trifluoride is a particularly good π-acceptor.
