| Abstract | BACKGROUND The present work investigates the use of municipal mixed waste compost (MMWC) residue for phosphorus (P) recycling from a technical, economic, and environmental perspective. The study aims to obtain liquid extracts rich in P from MMWC with a low heavy metals content, suitable for their subsequent precipitation in the struvite form. The effect of inorganic (sulfuric/nitric) and organic (oxalic/citric) acids at different molarities and temperatures was studied using technical analysis. The preliminary economic analysis allows the costs of the extraction section for the optimal extraction strategies to be estimated and compared. RESULTS Based on the multilevel factorial design, the P extraction optimization shows that sulfuric acid 0.5 M and 30 degrees C provided the highest P extraction yield, 94.2%. However, oxalic acid 0.1 M and 30 degrees C is the best choice to maximize the P extraction yield, while also minimizing the heavy metals concentration, reaching a P recovery of 2.5 g P/kg. The extraction kinetics for all tested acids were satisfactorily modelled using a second-order model (r(2) > 0.99). The preliminary economic analysis, estimated for a P extraction pilot plant of 100 kg h(-1) of MMWC, noted that sulfuric acid 0.5 M provided the lowest total investment cost (130 000 euro) and a minimum sale price of theoretical struvite at 4.96 euro/kg. CONCLUSION MMWC is a promising raw material for P recycling as fertilizer due to an appreciable P concentration (7 g P/kg), which can be used together with other residues rich in P to obtain an economical and sustainable extraction process.
