With synthetic wastewater, the authors investigated phosphorus recovery effect by seeded crystallization of precipitated calcium silicate, which is a byproduct of feldspar hydrothermal decomposition. The results showed that the remaining effluent phosphorus concentration could meet the wastewater discharge standard of 0.5 mg/L under the optimized conditions of seed concentration of 0.4 g/L, pH value of 8 and Ca/P molar ratio of 2. Phosphorus recovery efficiency of 79.5% showed that phosphorus recovery effect was still obvious after the precipitated calcium silicate was used for sixty times. The products obtained were analyzed by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) techniques. The results show that the product of phosphorus recovery is hydroxyapatite (HAP). P2O5 content of more than 35% shows that the product can meet the standard of the rich phosphate rock and the precipitated calcium silicate is a potential and perfect seed of phosphorus recovery.
