Summary:Hot waste pickle liquor (ferrous sulfate) as an iron source was successful in precipitating phosphorus from solution in a 115 mgd East Plant of Milwaukee's Jones Island Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment Plant. An 85 mgd section of the plant receiving the same influent was operated as a control. The East Plant with iron addition, achieved 91.3% removals (0.70 mg/1 P effluent residual), while the control West Plant removed 83.1% (1.4 mg/1 P residual). Comparison of efficiencies of purification, pH, alkalinity, and microscopic examinations of the sludge microorganism indicated that the addition of unneutralized waste pickle liquor did not adversely affect purification processes.
