This study investigated the crystallization of vivianite in the presence of dissolved oxygen (DO) at pHs 5-7. The results showed that DO had a significant impact on the crystallization process, which was highly pH-dependent. At pH 5, slow crystallization with highly crystalline vivianite was observed, but the P removal efficiency was only 30-40%. At pH 6 and 7, the removal of P from the solution was more effective (to >90%), but the efficiency decreased when FeII oxidation became more severe.
Vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2 center dot 8H2O) crystallization has attracted increasing attention as a promising approach for removing and recovering P from wastewaters. However, FeII is susceptible to oxygen with its oxidation inevitably influencing the crystallization of vivianite. In this study, the profile of vivianite crystallization in the presence of dissolved oxygen (DO) was investigated at pHs 5-7 in a continuous stirred-tank reactor. It is found that the influence of DO on vivianite crystallization was highly pH-related. At pH 5, the low rate of FeII oxidation at all of the investigated DO of 0-5 mg/L and the low degree of vivianite supersaturation resulted in slow crystallization with the product being highly crystalline vivianite, but the P removal efficiency was only 30-40%. The removal of P from the solution was substantially more effective (to >90%) in the DO-removed reactors at pH 6 and 7, whereas the efficiencies of P removal and especially recovery decreased by 10-20% when FeII oxidation became more severe at DO concentrations >2.5 mg/L (except at pH 6 with 2.5 mg/L DO). The elevated degree of vivianite supersaturation and enhanced rate and extent of FeII oxidation at the higher pHs led to decreases in the size and homogeneity of the products. At the same pH, amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide (AFO)-the product of FeII oxidation and FeIII hydrolysis-interferes with vivianite crystallization with the induction of aggregation of crystal fines by AFO, leading to increases in the size of the obtained solids.
