Working up phosphate from ashes

The processing of phosphate from ashes

Funded project: ForskEL

The object of this project is to process phosphate from ashes. The ash comes from phosphorous waste-fraction incineration such as slurry fibres and wastewater sludge for CHP production. Phosphate contents may be up to 50%, and the waste fractions are therefore attractive as replacement for artificially produced fertilizer.
