Phosphorous Recycling as Green
Industry
Phosphorus is an essential constitute for all living organisms.
NO LIFE CAN EXIST WITHOUT PHOSPHORUS
Phosphorus is used in a wide
variety of manufacturing industries.
Flame-retardants Etching agent
Food additives
Surface treatment chemicals
PHOSPHORUS FOR GREEN GROWTH
Without phosphorus, there will be no biomass, no biofuel, no agriculture, nor life.
PHOSPHORUS FOR GREEN GROWTH
Today, phosphorus is mostly obtained from mined rock phosphate which is a non-renewable resource.

Around 2040
Although the demand of phosphorus fertilizer is predicted to increase more than 50% by 2050, the global peak in phosphorus production is expected around 2040 .

PEAK PHOSPHORUS
Rock phosphate is a nonrenewable resource.
No alternative to phosphorus is available for agriculture and biomass production.
The price of P fertilizer must be kept low to make foods as inexpensive as possible.

GENETIC ENGINEERING OF POLYP ACCUMULATION
MICROBIAL CONSORTIA FOR PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL
Enhanced biological phosphorus removal primarily relies on the ability of sludge microorganisms to accumulate polyphosphate.
INNOVATION FOR P RECOVERY FROM SEWAGE SLUDGE
A range of issues impede further advancement in P recovery from sewage sludge, relevant to the quality control, capital and operating costs, and the immature market for recovered P.
Phosphate can be released from polyphosphate-accumulating sludge by anaerobic sludge digestion.
SLUDGE MANAGEMENT
Heating tank
Phosphate can also be released from polyphosphate-accumulating sludge by heating at 70
oC, if inexpensive heat is available. Kuroda et al. Biotechnol. Bioeng., 78:333-338 (2002).
SLUDGE MANAGEMENT
Struvite crystallization reactor
PHOSPHORUS RECOVERY AS STRUVITE
Struvite often causes difficult incrustation problems in pipelines. The hard crystalline incrustations have to be removed by means of mechanical cleaning techniques.
