Microbial assisted phosphorous recovery under anaerobic condition
A system and method for treatment of wastewater, in which the system includes a blackwater reactor configured to receive a stream of blackwater influent, to contain the blackwater therein during treatment of the blackwater, to facilitate recovery of methane and nutrient precipitates therefrom, and to output partially treated blackwater, and a greywater reactor configured to receive a stream of greywater influent and the partially treated blackwater output from the blackwater reactor, to contain the greywater and the partially treated blackwater therein during greywater treatment, and to output greywater treatment discharge. The process includes inputting a stream of blackwater into the blackwater reactor; treating the blackwater in the blackwater reactor with an anaerobic digestion process; controlling a pH level of the blackwater within the blackwater reactor; recovering nutrient precipitates from the blackwater reactor, optionally independent of chemical additives; and recovering methane from the blackwater reactor.
Hydroxyapatite powder and method for producing same
In order to provide a hydroxyapatite that can be used without reservation in the food industry, a hydroxyapatite powder is provided composed of primary particles. The median size of the primary particles from which the powder is made is >0.10 m and the aspect ratio of the primary particles is <5. The specific surface area of the hydroxyapatite powder is 10 m.sup.2/g, and the bulk density is >550 g/l. Also disclosed is a method with which such a hydroxyapatite powder can be obtained.
Phosphate-containing anti-corrosive pigment
The present invention relates to a method for producing a phosphate-containing anti-corrosive pigment, to the phosphate-containing anti-corrosive pigment obtainable by this method, and to the use of the phosphate-containing anti-corrosive pigment for passive protection against corrosion.
