Abstract

The disposal of ferric phosphate (FePO4) sludge, routinely generated in wastewater and drinking water treatment, has a major impact on the overall treatment cost. Iron sulfide (FeSx) precipitation via sulfide addition to ferric phosphate (FePO4) sludge has been proven to be an effective method for phosphate recovery. Electrochemical oxidation of FeSx can then be utilized to recover ferric iron for reuse back in the phosphate removal process. In this study, the reactivity of FeSx particles for anodic oxidation at pH 4 was studied as a function of time after FeSx precipitate generation at a S/Fe molar ratio of 1.75. Cyclic voltammetry showed high reactivity for fresh FeSx particles, but the reactivity diminished significantly over a period of 1 month. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) revealed that this reduced reactivity with time is a consequence of the transformation of the FeSx particles in suspension from mackinawite (FeS) to pyrite (FeS2).

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2013.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Science & Technology
#18,394
of 20,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#169,648
of 224,751 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Science & Technology
#224
of 259 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,675 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.8. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 224,751 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 259 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
