Circular phosphorus – better for planet and people
By harnessing the high phosphorus content of renewable sewage sludge ash in EasyMinings´ Ash2Phos process, we are able to produce a domestic cleaner and safer phosphate, while minimising environmental impact.
Phosphate rock, the standard raw material for the production of phosphorus fertiliser, is a finite resource. It is also often contaminated with high levels of heavy metals like cadmium and uranium. Today, these toxic substances are not completely separated out during the production process and tend to end up in the fertiliser being spread on farmland.
The phosphorus content in the renewable, domestic resource sewage sludge ash is many times higher than that of mined phosphate rock. The potential in putting it to use is enormous.
EasyMining’s patented Ash2Phos process extracts more than 90 percent of the phosphorus present in incinerated sewage sludge ash. Through incineration and treatment, undesirable substances are either destroyed or separated out for disposal. It is a truly circular method that enables domestic production of cleaner, safer phosphate.
