ABSTRACT

In urine, there is a very high content of nitrogen. Struvite is formed by the natural breakdown of urine sewage and wastewater treatment whichmay createproblems.It is very fertile. Amongst various methods to precipitate struvite, particularly from separated sources of human urine stream, MAP Crystallization is one of the most economical methods of precipitating struvite. The possible use of struvite precipitation as a fertilizer. The purpose of this paper is to extract the optimum quantity of struvite from human urine using the MAP Crystallization method with the help of a working model. The finding showed that 1.2:3 is the ideal Mg:P ratio for obtaining the optimal quantity of 12.8g of struvite in 1liter of human urine, indicating that veryhigh-quality struvite can be obtained from human urine.
