Recovery of Struvite From Tannery Wastewater and its Application as Soil Conditioner

Struvite(Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate)has been developed from tannery wastewater. Struvite has been evaluated for its composition and used as soil conditioner for plant growth studies. The process has been patented by CSIR-CLRI and will fulfil the SDG goals of: SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; SDG-13 Climatic action and aligned with National mission of Wealth from Waste. 

An exemplary circularity model for the Tannery and Agricultural sectors.
