Phosphate often needs to be removed from wastewater because it will cause eutrophication of
receiving waters. At the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment plant, they add MgCl2 to the pressate
(concentrated liquid pressed from sludge) to precipitate phosphate as the mineral struvite. Struvite is
formed by the reaction of phosphate with magnesium ions and ammonium, and the solubility product for
struvite is 5.5x10-14. The ammonium concentration is very high at 300 mg N-NH4/L because the sludge
is coming from an anaerobic digester. What minimum amount of MgCl2 (in mg/L) would be needed to
precipitate all but 1 mg/L phosphate? Struvite precipitates by the following reaction:
Mg++NH] +PO →MgNH PO

A batch culture of Panax ginseng roots is established in an air-drivenbioreactor to enhance ginsenoside production. The culture is maintained at 25°C with acontrolled nutrient supply. A nutrient medium containing 5% glucose and 2% NH₃ is preparedfor the culture, with the remainder of the medium considered water.
