“…From the environmental point of view precipitation of sulphide minerals would be advantageous, since it is responsible for bonding and immobilization of metals considered as toxic 35 such as As, Zn, Cu, Cd and which presence may also negatively influence the phosphorus recovery 32 . From our previous study 21 , 36 we learned that the chelating Na-EDTA compound indicated low ability to extract phosphorus (at the level of only 35%), and the highest ability to extract heavy metals and potentially toxic elements (As, Zn, Mo) whereas the greatest release of phosphorus was obtained using sulphuric acid at the level of 64% however obtained fraction is considered non-bioavailable 37 .…”
