Abstract

This review explores the potential and challenges of synergetic approaches, such as coupling, hybrid, and sequential methods, to enhance phosphorus recovery while minimizing environmental impacts. It emphasizes phosphorus recovery's economic and ecological dimensions, stressing the imperative for ongoing research and development to bolster economic viability and scalability. This review also discusses factors for improvement and outlines the exploration of innovative technologies and comprehensive techno-economic assessments to bridge the gap between advancements and real-world implementation. Its highlights include global efforts for phosphorus recovery, the need for synergetic approaches, an understanding of the difference between efficiency and performance approaches, required innovation in the future, and the environmental and economic implications.
