The leachates generated at Hong Kong landfill sites contain high strength of ammonium-nitrogen (NH4 +-N) over 3,000 mg l−1 and are generally inhibitive to most biological treatment processes. To remove the NH4 +-N from the landfill leachates and also recover the nitrogen as a struvite fertilizer, a lab-scale study was performed to investigate the feasibility of NH4 +-N removal and struvite crystallization using different magnesium sources. Three combinations of chemicals, MgCl2·6H2O+Na2HPO4…
