✦ Synopsis

A method developed by resedrchers at the Uniuersiq of Alabama has successfully eliminated the toxic and Jlammable characteristics of elemental phosphorous from by-product sludges produced from operations of electric furnaces at widely separated facilities. The removal process is first order with respect to elemental phosphorus concentration with a rate constant of 0.02 min -I. The residuals produced contain cadmium, chromium, and lead concentrations above the TCL P limit and thus will require further treatment.

The biochemical mechanisms of the wastewater treatment process known as enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) are presently described in a metabolic model. We investigated details of the EBPR model to determine the nature of the anaerobic phosphate release and how this may be metabolically a
