Effect of the stirring speed on the struvite formation using the centrate from a WWTP

ABSTRACT : The formation of struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) for nutrient recovery in wastewater treatment plants has been widely investigated; however, little attention has been paid to the effect of stirring speeds on the resulting particle size, which could affect its agronomic value as a slow-release fe...

description ABSTRACT : The formation of struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) for nutrient recovery in wastewater treatment plants has been widely investigated; however, little attention has been paid to the effect of stirring speeds on the resulting particle size, which could affect its agronomic value as a slow-release fertilizer. In this study, struvite formation from the centrate of sewage digestate was performed under six stirring speeds (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 rpm). The resulting struvite crystals were characterised using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The average particle size of struvite crystals increased from 55 µm at 0 rpm to 127 µm at 100 rpm and 128 µm at 200 rpm. Further increments in stirring speeds resulted in smaller crystal sizes. These results indicated that the largest particle size can be obtained at stirring speeds ranging from 100 to 200 rpm, equivalent to a velocity gradient between 79 and 188 s-1, as there was no statistically significant difference between mean values (t-test, p<0.05). The optimum stirring speed range reported herein can be used to set operational conditions for struvite crystallisation with the benefit of producing large crystals and reducing energy consumption in stirring tanks.

En este estudio, la formación de estruvita del centrado se realizó a seis velocidades de agitación (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 rpm). Los cristales de estruvita resultantes se caracterizaron mediante difracción de rayos X y microscopía electrónica de barrido con espectroscopia de rayos X con dispersión de energía. El tamaño de partícula promedio de los cristales de estruvita aumentó de 55 µm a 0 rpm a 127 µm a 100 rpm y 128 µm a 200 rpm. Incrementos adicionales en las velocidades de agitación resultaron en tamaños de cristales más pequeños. Estos resultados indicaron que el mayor tamaño de partícula se puede obtener a velocidades de agitación entre 100-200 rpm, equivalente a un gradiente de velocidad entre 79 y 188 s-1, ya que no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los valores medios (prueba t, p < 0.05). El rango óptimo de velocidad de agitación descrito aquí se puede usar para establecer condiciones operativas para la cristalización de estruvita con el beneficio de producir cristales grandes y reducir el consumo de energía en tanques agitados.COL00098329application/pdfengUniversidad de Antioquia, Facultad de IngenieríaGrupo de Investigación en Gestión y Modelación Ambiental (GAIA)Medellín, Colombiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1https://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/ARTArtículo de investigaciónhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/co/http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Effect of the stirring speed on the struvite formation using the centrate from a WWTPEfecto de la velocidad de agitación en la formación de estruvita usando el centrado de una PTARGradiente de velocidadVelocity gradientEstruvitaStruviteAgua residualWaste waterFósforoPhosphorusDesarrollo sostenibleSustainable developmentRecuperación de fósforoCristalización de estruvitahttp://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_5804http://aims.fao.org/aos/agrovoc/c_35332http://vocabularies.unesco.org/thesaurus/concept1882Rev.
