Sodium orthophosphates like MSP, DSP and TSP are used for chemical precipitation or pH adjustment. Polyphosphates like STPP, SHMP are applied for corrosion inhibition or as intermediates in biological phosphorus removal. Phosphate solutions adjust wastewater pH to maintain optimal conditions for biochemical reactions.
♦Advantages
»TSP: strongly alkaline, ideal for raising pH or precipitating metal ions
»DSP: neutral to slightly alkaline, suitable for pH buffering and phosphorus removal.
»MSP: slightly acidic, used for fine-tuning pH or specific chemical processes
»SHMP: effective for chelating metal ions and dispersing suspended solids in complex wastewater conditions
