Nutrient resource recovery from wastewater and other waste streams is a challenge of the 21st century. Phosphorus is a finite resource being used at alarming rates for fertiliser production to secure agricultural productivity and food supply. Phosphorus has been named the 'disappearing nutrient'. On the other side, municipal wastewater and urine contain significant amounts of nutrients that can be recovered and reused in a range of industries. Biological crystal formation of phosphorus compounds (e.g.: struvite; magnesium phosphate, etc.), has been demonstrated to be a by-product of the metabolism of specific bacteria that can be found frequently in the environment. The ability of selected bacteria to produce bio-minerals from wastewater has been recently demonstrated at Cranfield University. The aim of the project is to advance the process for bio-mineral production from wastewater and urine.

从废水和其他废物流中回收营养资源是21世纪的一项挑战。磷是一种有限的资源，以惊人的速度用于化肥生产，以确保农业生产力和粮食供应。磷被称为“消失的营养素”。另一方面，城市废水和尿液含有大量的营养物质，可以在一系列行业中回收和再利用。磷化合物的生物晶体形成（例如：鸟粪石;磷酸镁等），已被证明是环境中常见的特定细菌代谢的副产品。克兰菲尔德大学最近证实了所选细菌从废水中产生生物矿物质的能力。该项目的目的是推进从废水和尿液中生产生物矿物的工艺。
