Comparison of Solubilization Treatment Technologies for Phosphorus Release from Anaerobic Digestate of Livestock Manure
This study addresses the imminent threat of phosphorus (P) depletion, investigating anaerobically digested livestock manure as a high-concentration P alternative. To achieve this objective, Visual MINTEQ software, a general-purpose software used for chemical equilibrium modeling, was employed to simulate the alteration in P species fractions at different pH levels. The investigation further examined the variation in P release rates and electrical energy consumption across various pretreatment processes as influenced by pH levels. The results indicate a significant pH influence on P release, with enhanced efficacy under both acidic and alkaline conditions. At pH 2, total P concentration peaked at 684 mg·L−1, with 83.0% reactive P, in contrast with pH 10 conditions, which exhibited 504 mg·L−1 and 48.4%, respectively. P release increased with reaction time across all pretreatment processes. Sonication notably increased P release by 126.9%, with the highest reactive P release efficiency at 2.09 mg·L−1·Wh−1, emerging as an optimal process. Simulation results using Visual MINTEQ software indicate that the inclination for P release in alkaline conditions can be ascribed to the heightened presence of hydroxyapatite, brushite, and Ca-Fe (III)-phosphate bonds with rising pH levels. These simulation results, which are consistent with the experimental results, affirm the crucial influence of cations in determining P release on pH values.
