Pilot-scale study for phosphorus recovery by sludge acidification and dewatering.

abstract：:Treated wastewater in micro-irrigation is a promising approach that could be used to decrease the pressure on good quality water resources. However, the clogging of such systems due to biofilm development and chemical precipitation constitute a constraint with the use of treated wastewater (TWW) and lead to lower irri...
