The mechanisms of struvite biomineralization in municipal wastewater

Leng, Yirong; Soares, Ana (Elsevier, 2021-07-24)

The mechanisms of struvite production by biomineralization were investigated for five microorganisms (Bacillus pumilus, Brevibacterium antiquum, Myxococcus xanthus, Halobacterium salinarum and Idiomarina loihiensis) in ...
Predicting the potential of sludge dewatering liquors to recover nutrients as struvite biominerals

Simoes, Francisco; Colston, Robert; Rosa-Fernandes, Catarina; Vale, Peter; Stephenson, Tom; Soares, Ana (Elsevier, 2020-06-27)

Phosphorus and nutrient recovery from wastewater as mineral salts can support local replenishment of fertilisers and reduce mining, contributing to the circular economy. Wastewater and related streams are rich in nutrients, ...
Understanding the growth of the bio-struvite production Brevibacterium antiquum in sludge liquors

Simoes, Francisco; Vale, Peter; Stephenson, Tom; Soares, Ana (Taylor & Francis, 2017-12-21)

Biological struvite (bio-struvite) production through biomineralization has been suggested as an alternative to chemically derived struvite production to recover phosphorus from wastewater streams. In this study, statistical ...
