| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Phosphorus (P) as a non-renewable resource plays important roles in agricultural and industrial activities. Japan is the 8th largest P consumption nation with all the P resources being imported from other countries. This project investigated the feasibility of P-rich granules production from waste activated sludge by combining hydrothermal pretreatment, anaerobic digestion and aerobic granulation. Results show that hydrothermal treatment can be a cost-effective process when the treatment temperature and duration are optimized according to the energy balance of enhanced methane production from the pretreated waste activated sludge. P-rich granules (6-10%) with P bioavailability up to 95% could be successfully cultivated using synthetic digestate or wastewater.
