Pretreatment methods to improve sludge anaerobic degradability: a review.
Hélène Carrère,Claire Dumas,Audrey Battimelli,Damien J. Batstone,J.P. Delgenes,Jean-Philippe Steyer,Ivet Ferrer,Ivet Ferrer +7 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a review of the main sludge treatment techniques used as a pretreatment to anaerobic digestion, and it is likely that low impact pretreatment methods such as mechanical and thermal phased improve speed of degradation, while high impact methods improve both speed and extent of degradation.

Phosphorus Recovery from Wastewater by Struvite Crystallization: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, a review provides an understanding of principles of struvite crystallization and examines the techniques and processes experimented to date by researchers at laboratory, pilot, and full-scale to maximize phosphorus removal and reuse as struveite from wastewater effluents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofouling of water treatment membranes: a review of the underlying causes, monitoring techniques and control measures.
TL;DR: The underlying causes of membrane biofouling are highlighted and a review on recent developments of potential monitoring and control methods in water and wastewater treatment is provided with the aim of identifying the remaining issues and challenges in this area.

Phosphorus in rivers — ecology and management
Chris P. Mainstone,William Parr +1 more
TL;DR: The nature of the risk to riverine ecosystems from artificially enhanced loads of phosphorus is examined, the key sources of phosphorus enrichment and ways of controlling them are considered, and a framework for developing control strategies is provided.

Controlled struvite crystallisation for removing phosphorus from anaerobic digester sidestreams
Elisabeth v. Münch,K. Barr +1 more
TL;DR: The pilot-scale MAP process achieved an orth-P removal ratio of 94% from an average influent ortho-P concentration of 61 mg/l and had cadmium, lead and mercury concentrations well below the legal limits for fertilisers in Queensland, Australia and can be reused as a valuable slow-release fertiliser.

Phosphorus removal from wastewater by half-burned dolomite
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of phosphorus removal from wastewater by fixation with half-burned dolomite grains was investigated, and the results obtained showed the formation of a non-stochiometric calcium phosphate on the surface of the grains, undoubtedly of an amorphous nature as structure identification could not be made when X-ray diffraction techniques were employed.

The Removal of Phosphate by Hydroxyapatite and Struvite Crystallisation in South Africa
G. A. Momberg,R. A. Oellermann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of phosphate removal by hydroxyapatite [Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 OH] crystallisation has gained increasing interest as the need for the implementation of clean technology has become more apparent as we move into the environmentally conscious nineties.

Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater by the Crystallization Method
TL;DR: In this paper, the metastable zone of calcium phosphate precipitates was defined by concentrations of phosphate and calcium ions and pH was determined by batch experiments, which proved to be practicable as advanced technology for phosphorus removal from wastewater through column tests and 50m3/day pilot plant tests over 180 days with a sewage secondary effluent.
