Recovery of phosphorous from thermal inciniration residues KU Leuven

Giuseppe Granata
Sustainable Materials Processing and Recycling (SeMPeR)
Phosphorous is defined by the EU as a critical material. Accordingly, research actions related to enhance its circular economy are highly encouraged. This research will address the development of a technology to recover phosphorous from thermal inciniration residues and in particular from thermally incinirated chicken manure. The extraction of phosphorous from the incinirated residue will be studied and optimized in terms of ...

Phosphorus recovery from incineration ash of phosphorus rich waste streams KU Leuven

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for all living organisms. Currently, P used in fertilizers and animal feed is largely extracted from non-renewable phosphate rock of which reserves are depleting. The European Union (EU) considers both P and phosphate rock as critical raw materials because of their strategic importance and the economic dependence on a limited number of non-EU suppliers. In this regard, it is important to ...
