Abstract Extraction of Potato Starch Utilizing Wastewater as Fertilizer . In Sweden the method of washing out the starch from the potato rasp with the undiluted fruit juice of the potato has been developed to higher yields of undiluted fruit juice. By concentration on a specially constructed vacuum filter followed by adding of water to the filter cake, the remaining fruit juice can be forced out, so that only about 0.03% N is left in the starch after filtration. This means that from the fruit juice of the potato about 20% remain in the pulp and about 78% in the fruit juice. The fruit juice is spread by vehicles in portions of 2.5–3 mm, what corresponds to about 100 kg N and 150 kg potassium/ha. The required area is about 130 ha/1000t of commercial starch. It was possible to reduce the amount of wash water to 50–100l/t of potatoes by recycling.
