Phosphorus removal with pickle liquor in an activated sludge plant
1971
Leary, Raymond D.
Hot waste pickle liquor (ferrous sulfate) as an iron source was successful in precipitating phosphorus from solution in a 115 mgd East Plant of Milwaukee's Jones Island Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant. An 85 mgd section of the plant receiving the same influent was operated as a control. The East Plant with iron addition, achieved 91.3% removals (0.70 mg/1 P effluent residual), while the control West Plant removed 83.1% (1.4 mg/1 P residual). Comparison of efficiencies of purification, pH, alkalinity, and microscopic examinations of the sludge microorganism indicated that the addition of unneutralized waste pickle liquor did not adversely affect purification processes.
