One beneficial approach to phosphorus recovery from wastewater is through struvite (MgNH 4 PO 4 •6H 2 O) crystallization, which could potentially be used as a slowrelease fertilizer. However, it is often ignored that the reactivity and fate can be effectively influenced by naturally abundant metal ions, such as Ca 2+ in soil solutions, which results in the formation of sparingly soluble calcium phosphate precipitates on dissolved struvite crystal surfaces. Here, we use in situ atomic force microscopy coupled with a fluid reaction cell to observe interfacial dissolution−reprecipitation reactions of Ca 2+ -bearing solutions with distinct struvite surfaces. Our results show the formation of acidic amorphous calcium phosphate and its subsequent transformation to monetite (CaHPO 4 ) crystals on the (011) face of struvite at a wider pH range; by contrast, the occurrence of basic amorphous calcium phosphate and its subsequent transformation to whitlockite (Ca 29 Mg(HPO 4 ) 3 (PO 4 ) 18 ) and β-TCP (β-Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ) is observed on the (001) face of struvite under acidic and alkaline conditions, respectively. Owing to Mg 2+ cations possessing a single oxygen deficit relative to the saturation coordination on the (001) surface, the {011} faceted surfaces most likely control an invariant Ca/P atomic ratio (at 1.0) in amorphous precursor phases through the formation of phosphate-bridged ternary complexes (Mg−P−Ca), which produce CaHPO 4 0 precipitates rather than whitlockite and β-TCP. Surface-specific dissolution of struvite is thus linked to the simultaneous growth of different calcium phosphate phases through the formation of precursors with distinct Ca/P atomic ratios, which are likely to be key factors in controlling the interfacial reactivity and fate of struvite under varied environmental solution conditions.
