Basics and Recommendations for a Bavarian Phosphorus Strategy
Phosphorus is an essential and geologically limited resource which is not substitutable in its main applications. Besides its main use as fertilizer phosphorus chemicals are also used in food, animal feed and detergent production. Bavaria has no natural phosphate commodities, therefore it is dependent on imports.
The mined raw phosphate reserves are characterized by increasing contamination with geogenic cadmium and uranium. Easily accessible and low-polluted phosphorus reserves may be already exhausted in about 50 years. Therefore the sustainable phosphorus recovery from different phosphorus-containing material flows is increasingly gaining importance. Within the Bavarian Phosphorus Strategy Fraunhofer UMSICHT, Institute branch Sulzbach-Rosenberg, developed basics and recommendations for a sustainable phosphorus management inBavaria. Relevant material flows were determined bearing a recovery potential of some 60 to 80 % of mineral phosphate fertilizers.
