- Struvite (ammonium magnesium phosphate) is
a phosphate mineral with formula: NH4MgPO4·6H2O.
- Struvite crystallizes in the orthorhombic
system as white to
yellowish or brownish-white pyramidal crystals or in platey
mica-like forms. It is a soft mineral with Mohs hardness of 1.5 to 2
and has a low specific gravity of 1.7.
- It is sparingly soluble in neutral and
alkaline conditions, but readily soluble in acid.
- Struvite urinary stones and crystals form
readily in the urine of animals and humans that are infected with
ammonia-producing organisms.
- They are potentiated by alkaline urine and
high magnesium excretion (high magnesium/plant-based diets).
- They also are potentiated by a specific
urinary protein, in cats.
- Struvite is occasionally found in canned
seafood, where its appearance is that of small glass slivers,
objectionable to consumers for aesthetic reasons but of no health
consequence.
- Struvite precipitates in alkaline urine,
forming stones. Struvite is the most common mineral found in urinary
tract stones in dogs, and is found also in urinary tract
stones of cats and humans.
- Struvite stones are potentiated by
bacterial infection that hydrolyzes urea to ammonium and raises
urine pH to neutral or alkaline values.
- A very big concern for water waste
management and recycling was the high concentrations of phosphorus.
- In the right conditions phosphorus can be
precipitated out as struvite. It requires the above mentioned
elements. Magnesium being the limited factor for precipitation. The
precipitation of struvite is more efficient in higher alkaline
environments.
- Urine contains phosphate (PO4) and
ammonium (NH4). When magnesium (Mg) is added to urine, phosphate,
ammonium and magnesium bind and form struvite (MgNH4PO4•6H2O), which
can then be filtered out, collected, and dried into a powder.
- Struvite can be applied to fields just
like any other fertiliser. In a simple granulation drum , the powder
can be transformed into granules. In granular form, a fertiliser is
easier to apply and does not cake in moist environments.
