| Abstract | This study presents a proof of concept for the recovery of phosphate from aqueous solutions with high phosphorus (PO4-P) initial contents to simulate the concentration of streams from decentralized wastewater systems. Solutions with similar to 500 ppm phosphorus enable phosphate adsorption and recovery, in contrast to the highly diluted inlet streams (<10 ppm) from centralized wastewater treatment plants. In this work, Mg-Fe layered double hydroxide is used as a phosphate adsorbent, demonstrating its separation from aqueous streams, recovery, and use as a fertilizer following the principles of circular economy. We demonstrate that the mechanism of phosphate adsorption in this material is by a combination of surface complexation and electrostatic attraction. After the loss of crystallinity in the presence of water in the first cycle and its associated decrease in adsorption capacity, the Mg-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) is stable after consecutive adsorption/desorption cycles, where desorption solutions were reused to substantially increase the final phosphate concentration demonstrating the recyclability of the material in a semicontinuous process. Phosphate recovered in this way was used to complement phosphate-deficient plant growth medium, demonstrating its efficacy as a fertilizer and thereby promoting a circular and sustainable economy. |
