    Abstract:
    The alkaline solubilization of excess mixed sludge was investigated and subsequently the released phosphorus was recovered as magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP). Considerable and rapid release of glycogen and protein was encountered after alkaline addition into the sludge. Only 45.0% of sludge cells were destructed after 240 min treatment in R1 while the corresponding ratio was 96.1% in R3 according to the release of DNA. Non-apatite inorganic phosphorus (NAIP) in the alkaline treated sludge decreased due to the dissolution of Al(OH)3 and AlPO4, which was the dominant reason for phosphorus release. Soluble orthophosphate (SOP) in the supernatant of alkaline treated sludge could be recovered quickly with the recovery efficiency of 84.6% within 5 min and about 53-55% of P participated in MAP reaction, producing large amounts of acicular crystals.
