Struvite (MgNH4PO4 center dot 6H(2)O) precipitation eliminates phosphate efficiently from urine, a small but highly concentrated stream in the total flux of domestic wastewater. Precipitation experiments with hydrolysed urine evaluated the solubility product of struvite. The stored and fully hydrolysed urine had an ionic strength of between 0.33 and 0.56 M and required the estimation of activity coefficients. From our data, we identified the Davies approximation with the two constants A = 0.509 and B = 0.3 as agreeing best with our laboratory results. The standard solubility product K-s(0) = f(1) [NH4+]Mg2+]f(3)[PO43-] ([ ] = concentration of the species; f = corresponding activity coefficient) of struvite in urine was found to be 10(-13.26 +/- 0.057) at 25 degrees C and the enthalpy of struvite formation Delta H was 22.6( +/- 1.1) kJmol(-1). The equilibrium calculations required the following dissolved complexes: [MgCO3](aq,) [MgHCO3](+), [MgPO4](-), [NH4HPO4](-), and [NaHPO4](-) and to a lesser extent [MgSO4](aq) and [NH4SO4](-). Organic complexes do not seem to influence the solubility product substantially. For practical purposes, a conditional solubility product ',nd K-s(cond) = [Mg-aq] center dot [NH4++NH3] center dot [P-otho] = 10(-7.57) M-3 was derived to calculate struvite solubility in urine at 25 degrees C, pH = 9.0 and ionic strength l = 0.4 M directly from measured concentrations.
