  • Patent number: 5368741
    Abstract: Aqueous phosphorus wastes from the electric furnace production of phosphors and containing heavy metal bearing particulates are treated with lime whereby the phosphorus is converted into useful phosphorus compounds and the heavy metals rendered sufficiently non-leachable to permit their release into the environment. The treatment is conducted above about 60.degree. C. at a pH of between about 11.0 to 12.5.
