Phosphorus recovery from municipal sewage sludge is a promising way to alleviate the shortage of phosphorus resources. However, the recovery efficiency and cost depend greatly on phosphorus species and fractions in different sewage sludges, i.e., waste activated sludge and chemically enhanced primar...
