How do you think the waste generated in fertilizer industry can be managed?
Answers
Two schemes of treatment were applied to wastewater produced from a superphosphate manufacturing unit. In the first scheme the final effluent, comprising washing water from the scrubbing towers in combination with cooling water, was subjected to chemical coagulation-sedimentation using lime. In the second scheme the washing water from the scrubbing towers was chemically treated with recycling of a percentage of the treated effluent. The two treatment schemes were carried out using a continuous flow compact unit. The results obtained revealed that chemical treatment of washing water from the scrubbing towers including recycling treated effluent waste (with a ratio of 1∶2) was recommended. The treatment process proved to be very efficient in removing fluoride, phosphate, silicate and suspended solids. Also, the optimum conditions required for drying the sludge using sludge drying beds were determined. Analysis of the dry sludge indicated that it can be reused with the initial raw material in the plant A process design of the proposed treatment plant was also included.
