Recovery of Struvite from Java Plum Leaves
Abstract: AbstractBio-degradation and leaching of java plum leaves liberates phosphate and can be recovered as struvite. Quantity of P2O5 obtained recoverable is 0.3009 g of P2O5/kg of leaves. Concentration of NaOH, ammonia, Magnesium sulphate was varied in aliquot. Process optimum variables were 12 g of 1N NaOH, 15 ml liquor ammonia, 5 g of magnesium sulphate yields 9.398 g of P2O5/kg of leave.
