Prospects of Fresh Market Wastes Management in Developing Countries

Part of the book series: Water Science and Technology Library ((WSTL,volume 92))

Abstract

The presence of different sorts of nutrients in wastewater raises the concern on adopting effective treatment techniques, to prevent potential adverse impacts on the environment’s components, as well as to recycle nutrients for useful applications. Nitrogen is a popular nutrient that often existed abundantly in landfill leachate. Struvite (MgNH4PO4 · 6H2O, MAP) crystallization is a common technology that is widely applied for nitrogen recovery in landfill leachate, due to its high efficiency, simplicity and environmental sustainability. This chapter emphasizes the role of MAP technology in the treatment of NH4−N in landfill leachate. Moreover, the physicochemical fundamentals of MAP crystallization are explained thoroughly. In addition, the recent enhancements and related developments are discussed in detail. Besides, the contribution of MAP technology in treatment of other wastewater parameters is also discussed. In order to point out the cost-effectiveness of this technology, the options of cost saving and reduction are analyzed through this chapter.
