This invention relates to processes for the removal of phosphorous from aqueous waste streams comprising phosphorus-containing compounds produced in the manufacture of glyphosate, in order to meet and typically exceed environmental regulations. More particularly, various embodiments of the present invention relate to the removal of phosphorous-containing compounds utilizing biological treatment system(s), oxidizing agent(s), and/or precipitant(s). The processes of the invention are also applicable to the removal of phosphorous compounds from phosphorous-containing waste streams other than those waste streams resulting from the manufacture of glyphosate.

The present invention relates to a novel crystalline hemihydrate polymorph of neridronic acid sodium salt, and a novel process for the preparation thereof comprising the steps of: 1) dissolving solid sodium neridronate in any crystalline form in water, at a temperature in the range from 70 to 90 C., to obtain an aqueous solution of sodium neridronate; 2) adding a solvent selected from the group consisting in ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol to the aqueous solution obtained from step (1), so that the final water:solvent volume ratio is in the range from 1:0.5 to 1:1, thus obtaining a suspension; 3) placing the suspension obtained from step (2) under mechanical stirring, at a temperature in the range from 60 to 95 C.; 4) recovering the crystalline hemihydrate form F of sodium neridronate formed in the previous step (3). The crystalline hemihydrate form F of sodium neridronate, particularly stable, may be employed in the preparation of solid oral pharmaceutical forms for use in the treatment of musculoskeletal and calcium metabolism disorders.
