| Abstract | Phosphorus (P) is abundant in wastewater sludge and can be a secondary P source that will contribute to a circular economy. Electrochemical systems are an emerging technology that can be used to release and recover P from wastewater sludge. This paper introduces and analyzes the state-of-the-art electrochemical methods for P release and recovery from wastewater sludge, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Electrochemical P release, which involves mobilizing P from the solid phase into the aqueous phase, is categorized into three major mechanisms, electro-biological release, anodic P release, and cathodic P release. Anodic P release has been most widely studied with a median P release rate of 92.4 mg d(-1). Correlation analysis revealed that the type of feed sludge, sludge P contents, sludge loading rate, and current density have a significant impact on the P release performance. The released P is subsequently separated from the heavy metal laden sludge and then recovered via different electrochemical systems such as three-chamber cells, two-chamber cells, and their variations. Those systems can achieve P recovery efficiency of 50 similar to 80% and a recovery rate of 2.0 x 10(2)similar to 1.8 x 10(3) mg P d(-1). Energy consumption of electrochemical P recovery is estimated at 50 similar to 200 kWh kg(-1) P but only 27.3% of literature reported such data. This work provides insights into the development and challenges of electrochemical P release & recovery from wastewater sludge and discusses the challenges that need to be addressed to advance the viability of electrochemical P recovery approach. |
