A new method of recovery of phosphorus from high concentration phosphorous-containing pharmaceutical industry wastewater with composite calcium was proposed. It was found that the efficiency of phosphorous removal from the wastewater was affected by dosage of composite calcium

pH of solution

and the mole ratio of calcium chloride and calcium oxide in the composite calcium. The production of phosphorus residue

the available phosphorus (calculated as P2O5) and N

N-dimethylformaide (DMF) in the phosphorus residue were also determined. The content of phosphorus in the wastewater could be reduced from 31000 mg·L-1 to less than 0.5 mg·L-1

and the content of the available phosphorus in the phosphorous residue was about 18%

approaching the national standard for superior grade product of phosphorus fertilizer. Furthermore

the poisonous material DMF was not detectable in the residue by GC-MS and spectra photometry.
