Abstract:
      The present study focuses on exploring the process conditions of nitrogen and phosphorus recovery from biogas slurry and optimizing the process parameters using a chemical method to alleviate the difficulties faced by large-scale farms in the digestion of biogas slurry. The biogas slurry of swine manure was assessed. By using the struvite precipitation method, the influence of factors such as pH, magnesium:nitrogen ratio, and phosphorus:nitrogen ratio on the nitrogen and phosphorus recovery rate was investigated and optimized using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology design. The optimum conditions for the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus in biogas slurry from swine manure were a pH of 10, a magnesium:nitrogen ratio of 1.1, and a phosphorus:nitrogen ratio of 0.6. Under the above optimized conditions, the recovery rates for ammonia and phosphate were 65.21% and 89.47%, respectively. In the actual experiments, the recovery rates for ammonia and phosphate were 65.01% and 90.81%, respectively, with difference values of 0.20% and 1.34%, respectively, indicating good fit with the regression model.
