Master Lecture: How to close the nutrients loop by recycling phosphorus from wastewater streams?
Phosphorus is essential to human life and vital for food production. Increasing attention has been paid to the development of phosphorus refinery technology that can recover phosphorus from secondary resources, including sewage sludge, animal manure and industrial wastes, and use recovered phosphorus products for agricultural and industrial purposes.
