This study investigated the influence of the molar ratio, the phosphorus initial concentration, the mixture gradient, mixing time, pH and the secondary nucleation on struvite s crystallization in synthetic water in batch reactors. The study was divided into two stages. The first investigated struvite s crystallization at different Mg:N:P molar ratios and at different initial concentrations of magnesium, nitrogen and phosphorus. It was also evaluated the importance of secondary nucleation on the struvite s crystallization. In the second, five parameters were tested to evaluate their influence on the struvite s crystallization, which were: Mg:N:P molar ratio, initial concentration of phosphate, mixing time, mixture gradient and pH. The best conditions for struvite s crystallization were: Mg:N:P = 1,3:1:1 molar ratio; mixture gradient = 60 rpm, pH = 10.0, mixing time = 5 minutes and high initial concentrations of the constituent ions of struvite. Furthermore, the use of struvite crystals as seed influenced positively on the struvite s crystallization
