  • Method and assembly for recovering magnesium ammonium phosphate
    Patent number: 11299408
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an assembly for recovering magnesium ammonium phosphate from slurry that is supplied to a reaction container (10) in which an aerobic milieu is present and in which the slurry is guided in a circuit with the aid of ventilation. Cationic magnesium, such as magnesium chloride, is added to the slurry, and magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals which are precipitated from the slurry are removed via a removal device (30) provided in the base region of the reaction container. Substances which contain magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals collected in the removal device (30) are loosened and/or rinsed.
