However, the addition of chemical reagents (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to raise the pH may result in high treatment costs and increased concentrations of undesired metal ions (e.g., sodium). As an alternative, in this research we considered electrochemical mediated precipitation at low current densities (0.4\u20131.2 A m<sup>\u22122<\/sup>) without using chemical reagents. For that purpose, a two-chamber electrochemical system was operated in batch for treating denitrified swine effluent (48 mg P L<sup>\u22121<\/sup>). By applying current at 1.2 A m<sup>\u22122<\/sup>, and targeting pH 11.5, a maximum P removal rate of 33.4 mmol P (L\u00b7d<sup>\u22121<\/sup>) was obtained while the P removal efficiency was above 90 %. New solids that formed mostly remained suspended in the catholyte. Before discharge, the catholyte effluent was recirculated to the anodic compartment to neutralize the pH, achieving a final pH of 6.4 \u00b1 0.1. Chlorine (Cl<sub>2<\/sub>) production in the anodic compartment was favored by a small anode surface and a high initial pH of the catholyte. Although the production of chlorine achieved was limited (the highest concentration was 8.6 \u00b1 0.1 mg Cl<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0L<sup>\u22121<\/sup>) these findings represent a new opportunity for the recovery and onsite use of this side-product. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests confirmed that the deposition of solids inside the cathodic compartment during the experimental period was limited. Membrane analysis revealed significant scaling of carbonate compounds. The electrochemical treatment described above was shown as a promising alternative to sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid dosage for pH adjustment when crystallizing phosphate salts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fb3fdff ts-col-stretched-none ts-bg-color-over-image elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fb3fdff\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-248c68b0 ts-bg-color-over-image\" data-id=\"248c68b0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13f0bdbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"13f0bdbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3341\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3341\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Informaci\u00f3 addicional<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3341\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3341\"><table style=\"border: hidden;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Any:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Autors:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Emma Dess\u00ec, Emma Company, Narc\u00eds Pous, Stefano Milia, Jes\u00fas Colprim, Albert Magr\u00ed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Refer\u00e8ncia:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Helyon, <span class=\"anchor-text-container\"><span class=\"anchor-text\">Volume 10, Issue 17<\/span><\/span>,\u00a015 September 2024, e36766<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;\">\n<td align=\"right\" width=\"200\"><strong>Enlla\u00e7:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.heliyon.2024.e36766<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ef9131e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7ef9131e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autors: Emma Dess\u00ec, Emma Company, Narc\u00eds Pous, Stefano Milia, Jes\u00fas Colprim, Albert Magr\u00ed Reagent-free phosphorus precipitation from a denitrified swine effluent in a batch electrochemical system There is high interest in the recovery of phosphorus (P) from wastewater through crystallization processes.
