Title Phosphorus release from hydrothermally carbonized digested sewage sludge using organic acids
Year 2022
Published
Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a treatment technique with great potential for sanitizing digested sewage sludge (SS) and converting it into valuable products. In particular, phosphorus (P) recovery from hydrothermally carbonized SS has attracted special attention in recent years. This work aims to examine the leaching efficiency of P and the consequent release of metals and heavy metals from SS hydrochars (at 180, 215 and 250 degrees C) using organic acids (oxalate and citrate) over a range of pH values (0-4) and extraction times (5 min-24 h). Both organic acids triggered P extraction efficiencies exceeding 75 % at the lowest pH, but only oxalate reached a nearly complete P release from hydrochars at pH > 0 and for all carbonization temperatures. Low HTC temperature (180 degrees C) and short extraction time (5 min) were the optimal conditions treatment for P recovery when reacted in oxalate solutions of maximal pH buffering capacity (pH = 1.4). However, oxalate leaching also transferred metals/heavy metals into the P-leachate, with the exception of Ca being retained in the solid residue from HTC as Ca-oxalate precipitate. Different characterization methods confirmed the presence of this precipitate, and provided information about the surface and morphological changes of the SS hydrochars following acid treatment. The results suggest that HTC not only a promising technique to sanitize and reduce the volume of SS, but also an efficient means for P recovery using oxalic acid, thus contributing to the circular economy of P.
