Sulu çözeltiden magnezyum amonyum fosfat (MAP) çöktürmesi ile N ve P gideriminin araştırılması

Öz

Azot (N) ve fosfor (P) arıtımının gerçekleştirildiği atıksu arıtma tesislerinde struvite veya magnezyum amonyum fosfat (MgNH4PO4.6H2O, MAP) çökelmesi oldukça önemli işletme problemlerinin doğmasına neden olmaktadır. Aynı zamanda ticari bir değere sahip olması da MAP’ın kontrolü ve geri kazanımını önemli kılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda pH, Magnezyum (Mg): N ve N:P molar oranı, farklı Mg2+ kaynakları ve kalsiyum (Ca2+) varlığının MAP kristalizasyonu üzerindeki etkilerini incelemek amacıyla kesikli deneyler yapılmıştır. Deneysel sonuçlar sabit bir Mg:N:P=1:1:1 oranında, optimum pH’ın 9 olduğunu ve bu pH’da N ve P giderme verimlerinin sırasıyla %79.4 ve %88.4 olarak gerçekleştiğini göstermiştir. N ve P için bu arıtma verimleri Mg:N oranının 1.25:1’e çıkarılmasıyla sırasıyla %87.6 ve %99.1’e yükselmiştir. N:P oranının 1:1.15’e çıkarılması ile N giderme verimi %96.4’e yükselmiş ancak, P giderme verimi %96.1’e düşmüştür. %96’nın üzerinde N ve P giderme verimleriyle, en etkili Mg2+ kaynağının MgCl2.6H2O olduğu bulunmuştur. Çözelti içerisinde Ca2+ bulunması durumunda, N giderme veriminin önemli ölçüde azaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ca2+ olmadığında >%96 olan N giderme veriminin, 1000 mg/L Ca2+ konsantrasyonunda %68.6’ya kadar düştüğü belirlenmiştir. Çökelti üzerinde yapılan XRD analizinde oluşumun MAP kristali olduğu, Ca2+ ilavesinde ise MAP’ın yerine Ca2+’ca zengin amorf bir yapının oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir.

Investigation of N and P removal from aqueous solution by magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) precipitation

Abstract

Precipitation of struvite or magnesium ammonium phosphate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O, MAP) in wastewater treatment plants where nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) treatment is carried out causes very important operational problems. Also, since MAP has commercial value, its control and recovery is important. Therefore, batch experiments were conducted to examine the effects of pH, Magnesium (Mg): N and N:P molar ratio, different Mg2+ sources and the presence of calcium (Ca2+) on MAP crystallization. Experimental results showed that at a constant Mg:N:P=1:1:1 ratio, the optimum pH was 9, and the N and P removal efficiencies at this pH were 79.4% and 88.4% respectively. These removal efficiencies for N and P increased to 87.6% and 99.1%, respectively, by increasing the Mg:N ratio to 1.25:1. By increasing the N:P ratio to 1:1.15, the N removal efficiency increased to 96.4%, but the P removal efficiency decreased to 96.1%. The most effective source of Mg2+ was found to be MgCl2.6H2O, with N and P removal efficiencies of over 96%. It was found that the N removal efficiency was significantly reduced in the presence of Ca2+ in the solution. It was determined that the N removal efficiency, which was >96% in the absence of Ca2+ , decreased to 68.6% at 1000 mg/L Ca2+ concentration. In the XRD analysis performed on the sediment, it was determined that the formation was a MAP crystal, and in the addition of Ca2+, an amorphous structure rich in Ca2+ was formed instead of MAP.
