Preparation of iron phosphate from sludge sourced from the electrocoagulation treatment of source-separated urine
Zheng, X.; Zhang, Y.; Cheng, T.; Zhao, M.; Kong, H. & Jin, Z.
Abstract
In order to prepare iron phosphate by waste
sludge, we report a method for effective utilization of the
sludge obtained from the electrocoagulation treatment of
source-separated urine. The sludge was dissolved with
hydrochloric acid and pretreated with H2O2 and Na3PO4;
finally, NaOH was added to precipitate iron phosphate
from the solution. Thermal treatment of the precipitate at
750 °C in air yielded crystalline quartz-like anhydrous
FePO4. The precipitate was characterized by a number of
thermal techniques such as thermogravimetry/differential
thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray
powder diffraction.
