The alkaline technology has been applied to phosphate (P i ) recovery from sewage sludge ash (SSA) at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). P i is extracted from mono-incinerated sewage sludge with NaOH and recovered from the leachate using chemical precipitation with Ca(OH)2. Approximately 30-40% of P i could be recovered from SSA as calcium P i while minimizing the leaching of toxic heavy metals at high pH. The recovered P product can be recycled as a fertilizing material for agriculture.
